This checklist is to allow simple modifications to an existing sprinkler system. These projects must comply with the International Fire Code, NFPA 13/13D/13R, and the Shoreline Fire Municipal Code. If this does not apply to your project, please refer to the Fire Sprinkler or Standpipe submittal checklist to determine if your project meets those permit application requirements.

Please review Shoreline Municipal Code (SMC) 15.05.050 to learn more about the City’s amendments to the International Fire Code. If you have questions about the City’s fire code or submittal requirements, please email the Shoreline Fire Marshal’s Office at fmo@shorelinefire.com; their staff can walk you through the requirements.
