Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm / Fire Suppression System Permit (State Plan Review + County Fire Authority) in Unincorporated Uinta County, Wyoming

Unincorporated Uinta County has no standalone county-issued sprinkler/alarm permit application or published local fee schedule. Installation, addition, or alteration of ANY fire protection system (fire alarm, fire sprinkler, or fire suppression) requires a mandatory Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office (Dept. of Fire Prevention & Electrical Safety) Plan Review 'regardless of size or valuation,' submitted through the WSFM eLicensing/ePermit/ePayment Portal — no work may begin before the state's Permit to Construct is issued. Locally, fire-code enforcement authority for Uinta County (including the unincorporated county) is held by the Uinta County Fire Protection & EMS Joint Powers Board — the countywide fire authority with a fire chief in Evanston and one in Bridger Valley — which Uinta County Resolution 24-44 (Nov 2024) empowers by adopting the 2024 ICC fire code text under the county's DELEGATED fire-prevention authority (W.S. § 35-9-121, 'Council for Fire Prevention,' the county acting as delegated authority of the State Fire Marshal/Director; see codesAdopted). No published local Joint Powers Board permit fee schedule, application form, or distinct local inspection process specific to fire sprinkler/alarm work was found on the county's official site despite an active search — this is a genuine documentation gap, not confirmation that no local review occurs. Confirm current local Fire District review/inspection requirements directly with the Fire District (Evanston 307-789-3013; Bridger Valley 307-783-1000) in addition to completing the mandatory state WSFM plan review.

When you need this permit

  • A Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office Plan Review is mandatory for 'installation, addition, or alteration of fire protection systems (i.e. fire alarm, fire sprinkler, fire suppression) regardless of size or valuation' — this applies statewide, including unincorporated Uinta County
  • Register on and submit through the WSFM eLicensing, ePermit, and ePayment Portal, using the applicable Plan Review Checklist for the system type
  • Plans are accepted or rejected for review within 5 business days of receipt; a complete submittal is reviewed within 21 business days of acceptance (or 10 business days after receipt of any additional requested information, whichever is greater)
  • No work may begin before the state's Permit to Construct is issued
  • Review fees are calculated per the Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety Rules, Chapter 2, Section 3 — no flat statewide dollar figure is published; the applicant is notified of the exact fee once plans are accepted
  • Uinta County's own fire-code enforcement authority is delegated to and performed by the Uinta County Fire Protection & EMS Joint Powers Board under Resolution 24-44 (adopting the 2024 ICC fire code text under W.S. § 35-9-121 delegated fire-prevention authority) — confirm with the Fire District whether a separate local sign-off, inspection, or fee applies to a specific sprinkler/alarm project in addition to the mandatory state plan review, since no local fee schedule is published online
  • This state plan-review requirement applies even though Uinta County has NOT taken general building-permit delegation (there is no county building permit for the surrounding construction — see land-use-certificate) — fire protection systems are reviewed under a separate, independent statutory trigger regardless of that fact

Inspection process

  1. 1

    Fire Protection System Inspection (State)

    Performed by or on behalf of the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office once the Permit to Construct is issued, per the standard WSFM plan-review process for fire alarm/sprinkler/suppression systems

  2. 2

    Local Fire Authority Inspection (Uinta County Fire Protection & EMS Joint Powers Board) — unconfirmed

    The Joint Powers Board holds delegated local fire-code enforcement authority for the county under Resolution 24-44; whether it separately inspects sprinkler/alarm installations beyond the state review was not confirmed in this chase — contact the Fire District directly

Tips

  • Uinta County has no general building permit, but fire alarm/sprinkler/suppression work is still subject to a MANDATORY state plan review regardless of size or valuation — don't assume the lack of a county building permit means fire protection systems are unregulated.
  • The Uinta County Fire Protection & EMS Joint Powers Board (not a city fire department) is the designated local fire authority for the whole county, including this unincorporated area — the same arrangement documented for the Town of Evanston, which has no fire department of its own.
  • No local Joint Powers Board fee schedule or application for sprinkler/alarm permits is published online — call the Fire District (307-789-3013 Evanston / 307-783-1000 Bridger Valley) before assuming the state review is the only step required.

There is no published standalone local application or fee for sprinkler/alarm permits on the county's own site. What IS confirmed and mandatory is a Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office Plan Review for any fire alarm, sprinkler, or suppression system installation, addition, or alteration, regardless of size or valuation. The county's own fire-code enforcement is delegated to the Uinta County Fire Protection & EMS Joint Powers Board under Resolution 24-44, so confirm with the Fire District whether it layers on its own local review or fee.

The Uinta County Fire Protection & EMS Joint Powers Board — a countywide fire authority with a fire chief in Evanston and one in Bridger Valley — holds delegated fire-prevention/fire-code enforcement authority under Uinta County Resolution 24-44 and W.S. § 35-9-121. The Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office separately and mandatorily reviews fire protection system plans (alarm/sprinkler/suppression) statewide, independent of the county's own delegation.
