Code & review

Four states, four different ways a plan gets approved.

Licensure is the easy part. What actually moves a schedule is knowing who reviews the drawings, which adopted edition governs, and what the submittal has to contain before it’s uploaded.

  1. Kansas

    A statewide floor, with local ceilings

    The Office of the State Fire Marshal administers the Kansas Fire Prevention Code (K.A.R. 22-1) statewide, but the edition it adopts is well behind current. Metro jurisdictions, among them Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Wichita and Sedgwick County, adopt far newer IFC and IBC editions with their own amendments on top. The governing code is decided jurisdiction by jurisdiction, and confirming it is the first move on a Kansas job, not a formality.

  2. Missouri

    There is no statewide building or fire code

    Missouri does not impose a uniform statewide building or fire code on commercial construction. The Division of Fire Safety concentrates on investigation, training, and specific licensed-facility inspections. Commercial code enforcement sits with the jurisdiction. Codes are adopted city by city and county by county, which means the governing edition, the amendments, and the submittal process all change with the jurisdiction.

  3. Texas

    Licensing runs through the State Fire Marshal at TDI

    The State Fire Marshal's Office, inside the Texas Department of Insurance, licenses fire sprinkler contractors and Responsible Managing Employees and adopts NFPA 13, 13R, 13D, and 25 by reference under 28 TAC Chapter 34. Installation stays with a licensed Texas sprinkler contractor; Rush provides the engineered design, calculations, and seal behind it.

  4. Oklahoma

    One statewide portal for sprinkler review

    The Office of the State Fire Marshal reviews and permits fire sprinkler plans through its online portal. Paper and email submittals aren't accepted, and submittals come in through an Oklahoma-licensed fire sprinkler company. Rush produces the engineered design package your contractor uploads.

General guidance, current as of 2026. Local amendments vary. Confirm the governing authority for your specific project.
