Sioux Falls follows the International Fire Code and IBC adopted under Ch. 33 to require automatic sprinklers in most new multi-family, commercial, and large residential buildings, with Sioux Falls Fire Rescue performing plan review.
Sioux Falls Code Ch. 33 adopts the IBC and IFC as amended by South Dakota. Automatic sprinkler systems are required in apartments with three or more units, hotels, large mercantile, hazardous occupancies, and one- or two-family dwellings exceeding the IRC area threshold or with limited fire access. Sioux Falls Fire Rescue conducts plan review and on-site testing. Retrofits are uncommon outside of major remodels, but a substantial change of use can trigger sprinkler requirements when occupancy classification changes.
Operating without a required system or with a disabled sprinkler system can result in occupancy revocation, daily fines, and SFFR red-tag enforcement.
