Fire Sprinkler Permit

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).

If a Building Permit is required for your project, if must be issued before your Fire Sprinkler Permit will be approved (you may apply for the two permits concurrently).

Other permits that may relate to your building include:

• Plumbing Permit [PDF/303KB]
• Energy Permit [PDF/186KB]
• On-Site Services Permit

The completed Fire Sprinkler Permit application [PDF/297KB] must be accompanied by the appropriate attachments. Please see the application form for a list of application requirements.
