House I was talking about was in a town that required permit for sprinklers because of the backflow valve. There were two types they certified for use and they would not tell you which ones they were until you pulled the permit
They would also take the opportunity to bang you an additional $8 per head per year which for me amounted to a 25% yearly tax on the initial install.
I did some research and found a company that did a lot of installations in my town so they knew what was required.
