The City of Fullerton requires that all alarm users possess a City permit to operate their alarms. Alarm permit applications are processed through Administrative Services at City Hall. The Alarm Coordinator is responsible for all matters involving permits, alarm service providers, and billing.
In order to provide you with the best possible service and protection, the Administrative Services Department has established the following guidelines for robbery and burglary alarm permit applications:
Complete the Alarm Application Form provided. If the emergency information changes during the course of the year, contact the Alarm Coordinator and have your records updated.
Prepare a check or money order payable to "City of Fullerton" for the proper amount according to the following permit fee schedule:
Starting Alarm Permit Fee
Residential
$30.00
Commercial
$60.00
Annual Permit Renewal Fee (permits expire on the anniversary date of their issuance)
Residential
$30.00
Commercial
$30.00
Return the Alarm Permit Application and payment to the Administrative Services Department.
It is in your best interest to make sure your alarm system is in proper working order. False alarms are a substantial drain on police services and are subject to fines according to the following schedule:
Per Permit Year
1st - 2nd False Alarms
No Charge*
3rd - 5th False Alarms
$50.00 Each
6th - 10th False Alarms
$100.00 Each
11th - Every One Thereafter
$200.00 Each
*First two false alarms are not billed if a current permit is on file, otherwise the first two false alarms are billed at $50.00 each.
The "Notice of False Alarm" left by the officer who responds to a false alarm are considered your notification of police response.
We are pleased to be able to serve you and hope these guidelines will assist you in the proper installation of your alarm. If you have any questions, please call Cheri Davis at (714) 738-3103.
