California Residential Code requires automatic fire sprinklers in new one- and two-family dwellings in Moorpark, enforced by Ventura County Fire and Moorpark Building and Safety under Municipal Code Title 15.
Since 2011, the California Residential Code has required automatic fire sprinkler systems in all new one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses, adopted in Moorpark through Title 15 of the Municipal Code. Ventura County Fire and Moorpark Building and Safety review plans and inspect installations. Substantial additions and certain remodels may also trigger sprinkler retrofit requirements. Wildfire-prone foothill areas may have enhanced requirements. Tampering with installed systems or failing annual maintenance on multifamily systems is prohibited under the California Fire Code.
Building without required sprinklers, tampering with systems, or skipping required testing can result in stop work orders, fines, and refusal to issue certificates of occupancy.
