Permits & Forms

PERMITS;

City Code, Division 2, Section 34-55, makes it unlawful for any person to use or maintain an alarm system which would trigger a police response, without first obtaining an alarm permit from the Police Department.  There is no fee for the alarm permit, and it will routinely be issued on receipt of a completed application form.  However, using or maintaining an alarm system without a permit is punishable by a $100.00 fine.

The City Code, Section 34-57,further provides that, after the first three false alarms in a calendar year, penalties are assessed at the rate of $45.00 per alarm from the 4^th to 10^th false alarm; and $75.00 per alarm from the 11^th to 20^th false alarm; and $150 for the 21^st and all successive alarms in a calendar year.

The purpose of this regulation is to (1) attempt to reduce or eliminate the demand on public resources to respond to false alarms, and (2) to ensure that the Police Department has complete information to respond in a safe and effective way and contact appropriate people after hours or when homeowners are on vacation.
