An alarm 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 Alarm Administrator will notify each alarm user and alarm company of the need to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the registration expiration. The alarm user and alarm company must submit a renewal application prior to the registration expiration date. Failure to renew will be classified as use of a nonregistered alarm system and citations and penalties will be assessed without waiver. This Section applies to all new alarm registration applications and renewals in 2018 for existing alarm registrations after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter. Alarm registrations which exist on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter will have an expiration date that is twelve (12) months from the issuance month of the initial alarm registration. (Ord. 18-02 § 4, 2018.)
