The alarm service charge shall be a civil debt owing the City from the owner, occupant or person in possession, charge or control of the location of the alarm unit. If an invoice for the service charge is unpaid sixty (60) days after mailing, a penalty of ten percent (10%) shall be charged, and an additional one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month shall be charged until the charges and penalties are paid in full.
If court action is taken to enforce non-payment of charges, the owner, occupant or person in possession, charge or control of the location of the alarm unit shall pay all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the City in collecting the debt.
