How Do You Get an Alarm Permit in Dallas?
To get an alarm permit in Dallas, apply to the Dallas Police Department Alarm Permit Compliance Unit online at www.dallasalarmpermit.com, pay $50 residential, and keep the permit current at renewal; questions go to 855-809-2058.
Dallas moved alarm registration online in 2024 through dallasalarmpermit.com, which also handles renewals, false-alarm notices, and billing, with phone support on a toll-free line rather than at a city office. The residential permit is $50 a year and a business permit $100. Dallas gives 3 free false alarms a year, then $50 for the fourth to sixth, $75 for the seventh and eighth, and $100 from the ninth, and Dallas police do not respond to a burglar alarm at an address without a valid permit, so registration should be done before installation day.
What Are the False Alarm Fines in Dallas?
Dallas fines false alarms on this schedule: 1st to 3rd free; 4th to 6th $50; 7th and 8th $75; 9th+ $100, per dallascityhall.com.

|---|---|
| 1st to 3rd | free |
| 4th to 6th | $50 |
