City of Roseville

Alarm Permit Required

• An alarm permit is required for everyone operating an alarm system within the City of Roseville, including both commercial and residential properties. The cost of an alarm permit is $35, and the permit is valid for two years. Permits must be renewed every two years at a cost of $15.
• An alarm company may install an alarm system prior to the alarm user obtaining an alarm permit, but a valid permit needs to be on file when the alarm system is activated or connected.
• Alarm monitoring companies are required to verify if the alarm user obtained an active and valid alarm permit before activating monitoring service.
• Anyone found operating an alarm system without a valid permit is required to pay the $35 permit fee within 30 days of receiving the notice, plus a $5 late fee. Failure to pay will result in additional late fees. These fees are cumulative, and are as follows:
  30 days late         $20
  60 days late         $40
  90 days late         $80
  91+ days              $100 Administrative Citation fee, and suspension of police response for burglar alarm responses. Police will still respond to panic or duress alarms or when there is an indication of a crime in progress.
• Alarm permits may not be transferred to another person or alarm site.
