A registration is valid for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance. It must be renewed by submitting an updated application. The Enforcement Official will notify each owner of the need to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the registration expiration. The owner must submit a renewal application prior to the registration expiration date. Failure to renew will be classified as use of a nonregistered fire alarm system and citations and penalties will be assessed without waiver. This Section applies to all new fire alarm registration applications and renewals in 2018 for existing fire alarm registrations after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this Chapter. Fire alarm registrations which exist on the effective date of the ordinance codified in the Chapter will have an expiration date that is twelve (12) months from the issuance month of the initial registration. (Ord. 18-01 § 4, 2018.)
