Alarm Ordinance

Fire & Burglar Alarm System

As of January 16, 2017, the process has changed for security alarm system users. Security alarm system user registration has replaced the alarm system permit process. Fees will automatically be included on your utility bill at two-year intervals in March of the renewal year, if you are a current City resident with an alarm system in place.

(Registration requirement does not apply to township residents.) Alarm permits will now be issued only to alarm system dealers. New security alarm system users: please register with the utility office either in person or by printing off the Security Alarm Registration Form and returning it to the address referenced on the form.

You may also email it. Existing alarm system permit holders need to do nothing. Please notify the utility billing office at 330-335-2700 if you no longer have a security alarm system or if you have changes in key holder contact information.
