Mesa is one of the few cities that charges from the very first false burglar alarm: $50, then $100, $150, $200, $250, $300, and $400 from the seventh, counted over a rolling 365 days, though the city's Alarm Awareness Class waives the first $50 once a year. Panic and robbery alarms run on their own schedule, free for the first and $100 then $200 after. Every alarm needs a permit within 30 days of installation, $10 per function or $20 for burglary and panic together, and an alarm caught without one is charged $100 that cannot be waived. Monitoring centres must make 2 calls to different numbers before asking for police on a burglar alarm, several false alarms from one cause within 24 hours count as one if repaired within 72 hours, and the system must be serviced at least once a year.
