• Failure to Respond to an Alarm Within 20 Minutes
  A $78.00 service fee will be charged each time a keyholder fails to respond to the alarm location within 20 minutes of notification. 
  
  
• Direct Activation of an Alarm
  A $83.00 service fee will be charged for each false alarm directly activated by an alarm user when an emergency condition does not exist. For the purpose of the alarm ordinance, an "emergency situation" is defined as "the commission of a felony." Whenever possible, citizens should call 9-1-1 instead of using robbery and panic alarms. However, citizens should never hesitate to use the robbery/panic alarm when a felony act is being committed and it is not possible to safely call 9-1-1. 
  
  
• Excessive False Alarms
  Alarm users will be charged $83.00 for each false alarm in excess of two in any consecutive 90-day period. 

• Alarm activation without a valid permit on file - Alarm owners may be billed a $260.00 service fee for each alarm activation that occurs without a valid alarm permit on file.
