Alarm Permits

In an effort to curb false alarms, legislation was enacted requiring any home and/or business owner operating a security alarm system within the City of Green to obtain a permit. Business owners must also supply a site plan of the system with the Fire Division. The Ordinance requires the maintenance and servicing of alarm systems to avoid false alarms and unnecessary emergency response by police or fire personnel. 

The Finance Department is responsible for administering the program and enforcing the regulations. There is no fee for the permit. Any person operating an alarm system without a permit is subject to citation and assessment of a $50.00 penalty for each false alarm notification. Failure to comply with regulations is a minor misdemeanor and could result in fines of up to $100.00 in addition to any other fees and requirements set forth in Codified Ordinance 1066.
