Tips

  • Knox boxes are required on ALL commercial occupancies in Sheridan per a local IFC amendment (Section 506.1) — this is broader than the base IFC, which typically triggers Knox box requirements only for specific occupancy/access conditions.
  • The City has posted an explicit notice that it lacks a certified Fire Plans Examiner or qualified fire-inspection professional; all fire sprinkler, fire alarm, and related fire inspections and fees must be directed through the State. Budget extra coordination time for commercial projects with fire suppression scope.
