§ 14-62. Alarm user permit.

(a)

Permit required. No person shall use an alarm system without first obtaining a permit for such alarm system from the jurisdiction. A fee may be required for the initial registration. Each alarm permit shall be assigned a unique permit number, and the user shall provide the permit number to the alarm company to facilitate law enforcement dispatch.

(b)

Application. The permit shall be requested on an application form provided by the jurisdiction. An alarm user has the duty to obtain an application from the jurisdiction.

(c) Transfer of possession. When the possession of the premises at which an alarm system is maintained is transferred, the person (user) obtaining possession of the property shall file an application for an alarm permit within 30 days of obtaining possession of the property. Alarm permits are not transferable.

(d)

Reporting updated information. Whenever the information provided on the alarm permit application changes, the alarm user shall provide correct information to the jurisdiction within 30 days of the change. In addition, each year after the issuance of the permit, permit holders will receive from the jurisdiction a form requesting updated information. The permit holder shall complete and return this form, if required, to the jurisdiction with any updated information; failure to comply constitutes a violation and may result in a civil penalty.

(e)

Alarm reset. An alarm user may not install, maintain or use an audible alarm system which can sound continually for more than 15 minutes.
