Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm Permit in Jackson, Wyoming

Required for installation of automatic fire-extinguishing (sprinkler) systems and fire alarm/detection systems in the Town of Jackson, administered by the Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Department's Fire Division under the adopted 2024 International Fire Code (JMC 15.08.010). SmartGov tracks these as four distinct application categories (Fire Alarm and Detection Systems, Automatic Extinguishing Systems, Fire Sprinkler Commercial, Fire Sprinkler Residential), but the Town of Jackson's own adopted fee schedule (Resolution 25-18 Appendix A) does not split fees by category — all are billed under the same valuation-based Fire Protection Construction Permit table. Important: the separate 2025/2026 'Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Master Fee Schedule' (Resolution 25-031) is explicitly scoped to 'Unincorporated Areas of Teton County outside of the Town of Jackson' and does NOT apply within Town limits — the Town's own Resolution 25-18 Appendix A fee table governs here instead, even though the same Fire/EMS staff administer both.

When you need this permit

  • A permit and Jackson Hole Fire/EMS plan review are required before installing any fire alarm/detection system or automatic fire-extinguishing (sprinkler) system, per the adopted 2024 IFC (JMC 15.08.010)
  • Structures 5,000 sq ft or larger, regardless of occupancy, must be protected by an approved automatic fire sprinkler system (JMC 15.04.020(b)(14) local amendment, also documented in this file's localAmendments)
  • Applications submitted and inspections requested via the shared SmartGov portal (co-teton-wy.smartgovcommunity.com), used jointly by the Town of Jackson and Teton County, under one of four application categories: Fire Alarm and Detection Systems, Automatic Extinguishing Systems, Fire Sprinkler Commercial, or Fire Sprinkler Residential
  • Use of outside consultants for plan review is billed at actual cost if Fire/EMS staff cannot perform the review in-house

Tips

  • The 2025/2026 Jackson Hole Fire/EMS 'Master Fee Schedule' (Resolution 25-031) does NOT apply inside Town of Jackson limits — its own text scopes it to 'Applicability-Unincorporated Areas of Teton County outside of the Town of Jackson,' effective January 1, 2026. Within the Town, fire permit fees are set by the Town's own Resolution 25-18 Appendix A, 'Fire Permits (IFC and IWUIC)' section, even though Jackson Hole Fire/EMS is the same department administering both areas.
  • SmartGov lists Fire Alarm and Detection Systems, Automatic Extinguishing Systems, Fire Sprinkler Commercial, and Fire Sprinkler Residential as four separate application categories, but the Town's adopted fee schedule does not split fees by category — all are billed under the same valuation-based Fire Protection Construction Permit table.
  • A separate $18.00 'For each Fire Sprinkler System' line exists under the Plumbing Permit fee table (JMC 15.24.030) in addition to the Fire Division's valuation-based construction permit fee — budget for both if the project includes a sprinkler system.
