Must I apply for a permit to install a fire sprinkler system, a gaseous fire extinguishing system, a hood and duct suppression system, or a fire alarm system?
Yes. Any alteration or addition to existing buildings must have a fire review. A mechanical permit is required to be filed with the Planning and Zoning Office.

If this is new construction, a contractor must include 2 sets of plans for these systems when the building plans are submitted for review to Planning and Zoning. Planning and Zoning will assign the same permit number (Building Permit) to these suppression systems under the Mechanical Permit, but the plans will be reviewed by a different department.
