§ 9-13. Service fee; false alarm notification.

(a)

Except as provided in subsection (b), the holder of an alarm permit shall pay a service fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) for each false alarm notification emitted from an alarm site that is in excess of three (3) but fewer than six (6); seventy-five dollars ($75.00) for more than five (5) but less than eight (8); one hundred dollars ($100.00) for eight (8) or more false alarm notifications during any twelve (12) months. If the holder of the alarm permit disputes the false alarm finding, the holder may contact the chief to dispute the finding within ten days after notice of the service fee was mailed.

(b)

If a person notifies the chief and applies for an alarm permit before the installation of a new alarm system, no service fee will be assessed during the first fifteen (15) days after installation, and false alarm notifications during that period will not be counted in determining when a service fee will be assessed.
