No person shall operate or permit the operation of an alarm system which was installed on his or her property prior to the effective date of this chapter (Ordinance 87 -193, passed June 1, 1987), unless a permit for such alarm system is obtained within 180 days of such effective date. To obtain such a permit, the person in control of the property shall file an application therefor pursuant to Section 703.03 and pay the permit fee. However, this section shall not be applicable to an alarm system business which monitors or 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.
