Alarm systems shall be registered with the City within fourteen (14) days of being connected to an alarm monitoring service or audible signal.  Alarm providers shall advise alarm users with whom they do business that the alarm user must register the alarm system with the City.  The alarm user shall pay an annual registration fee for each alarm system at each separately addressed operating location in accordance with Chapter 60 of the Code.

Alarm Registration Form

EXCEPTION: Residential alarm users shall pay a single registration fee at each separately addressed operating location for a combination security, medical, and/or fire alarm system control panel.  All registrations are valid for one (1) year. Registrations shall be renewed with the City annually prior to the last business day of the anniversary month of the first alarm registration and shall be updated upon change of information or conditions. Individuals or businesses who have registered their alarms prior to December 1st, 2009, will continue to have an anniversary date of January 31st.  It is unlawful for any person, firm, partnership, corporation or other legal entity to use, own or lease an alarm system, or to be in control of a premise wherein an alarm system is operated or maintained, without having registered the system as required in this Chapter.  Any alarm user whose alarm system is not registered with the City shall be assessed a fine in accordance with Chapter 60 of the Code.
