§ 30-72. Permit required; application; issuance; transferability; false statements.

(a)

A person commits an offense if he operates or causes to be operated an alarm system without first obtaining an alarm permit from the director. This requirement is applicable to the person in control of the property, which the alarm system is designed to protect.

(b)

Upon receipt of the complete application form and the alarm permit fee as listed in appendix A, the director shall issue a permit, unless there is cause to believe the equipment responsible for initiating an alarm will not be maintained and operated in accordance with this article; the director has reason to believe the applicant will not comply with each provision of this section; or the applicant has failed to pay a service fee assessed under this chapter or has had an alarm permit for the alarm site revoked, and the violation causing the revocation has not been corrected.

(c)

Each alarm system permit application must contain the name, address, telephone number and any other information required by the director which is necessary for the enforcement of this chapter. The individual or alarm user representative listed on the application will be the permit holder for the alarm system and be responsible for the proper maintenance, operation and payment of fees assessed under this chapter.

(d)

An alarm permit cannot be transferred; however, the individual designated to respond to an alarm or relay an alarm may be changed. A permit holder shall inform the director of any change that alters information listed on the original permit application within five days.

(e)

Any false statement or misrepresentation of a material fact made by an applicant for the purpose of obtaining an alarm permit or renewal, or while making a change thereto, shall be sufficient cause for refusal to grant, or suspension of a permit.

(f)

The alarm permit fee shall be as listed in appendix A.
