No person shall operate or shall permit the operation of an alarm system which was installed on his or her property prior to the effective date of this chapter (Ordinance 15-87, passed February 9, 1987), unless a permit for such alarm system is obtained within 180 days of the effective date of this chapter (Ordinance 15-87, passed February 9, 1987). To obtain such a permit, the person in control of the property shall file an application therefor pursuant to Section 1098.03 and pay the permit fee. However, this section shall not be applicable to an alarm system business which monitors, services or monitors and services an alarm system installed and designed to protect property under the control of a person other than the alarm system business, but the person in control of the property which the alarm system is designed to protect shall be subject to prosecution if he or she permits the operation of such system without a valid permit.
