How Do You Get an Alarm Permit in Phoenix?
To get an alarm permit in Phoenix, apply to the Phoenix Police Department Alarm Unit online at www.phoenix.gov/administration/departments/police/community-resources/preventing-false-alarm-systems.html, pay $17 per year, and keep the permit current at renewal; questions go to 602-534-0322.
Phoenix charges $17 a year for an alarm permit, one of the lowest fees on this site, and applications are emailed to the Alarm Unit with card payment taken by phone afterwards. The fine rule is strict in the other direction: one free false burglar alarm in any rolling 365-day period, then $96 for every one after it, with no ladder. The Phoenix non-emergency line, Crime Stop, handles alarm-related reports, and summer monsoon storms are the main cause of weather-triggered alarms in the city.
