A Sprinkler Permit is required for projects involving underground piping or a fire line.

Contractors must hold a valid City of Port Coquitlam business licence and must provide their Sprinkler Installer trade qualification and driver’s licence for identification purposes (if not already on file).

The completed Fire Sprinkler Permit application must be accompanied by the appropriate attachments. Please see the application form for a list of application requirements.
