Fire Suppression Permits
The purpose of a fire suppression system permit is to ensure the system’s compliance with building and fire codes. A fire suppression permit is required for all work involving any fire protection system addition or modification. Permits are required any time that a fire suppression system is affected by any sort of work including repair. Please note that fire alarm systems require a separate permit and are not part of the fire suppression system permit.
