Alamance County Fire Sprinkler Awareness and Incentive Program
Alamance County Inspections Department · County program
50% off the new-home permit cost; no fee for sprinkler plan review or sprinkler permit
Alamance County gives a 50% discount on new-home permit costs when a non-required home fire sprinkler system is installed. The program also waives the plan review and permit fee for the sprinkler system itself.
Program details
How it works
Alamance County’s Inspections Department created this incentive to promote home fire sprinkler systems and help defray their installation cost in new homes. The program reduces the cost of a new home permit by 50% when a non-required sprinkler system is installed.
What the money covers
The county says there is no fee for the plan review or permit for the sprinkler system itself. The incentive applies to non-required NFPA 13D home fire sprinkler systems only.
Amounts and matching
The headline benefit is a 50% reduction in the cost of the new home permit. The official page does not state a dollar cap.
How to apply
Sprinkler plans must be submitted and approved before the building permit is issued. The system must be installed by a licensed sprinkler contractor.
Timing and deadlines
If the sprinkler system is not installed, the difference between the reduced and regular permit fee must be paid before electrical service is released or a certificate of occupancy is issued. The system must pass all required inspections and be fully operational before the certificate of occupancy is issued.
