(A) The HCSD shall issue an alarm system permit to the person or other entity in control of the property upon submission of an application therefor in accordance with this section, unless the HCSD finds that any statement made in the application was incomplete or false. Should the property in which an alarm system is located change ownership, or should the entity in control of the property change, a new application for a permit must be made within 30 days. The permits are not transferable.
(B) The fee for an alarm system permit will be $10 for a residential property and $25 for a commercial property for each calendar year. Each and every permit issued prior to July 1 of any year shall be charged at the full rate. Each and every permit issued on or after July 1 of any year shall be charged at one-half of the regular rate.
(C) On or before December 1 of each calendar year, the HCSD shall send a notice of renewal to each permit holder at the address shown on the permit holder’s application, including an e-mail address if so authorized by the applicant on the application form. However, failure to receive notice from the HCSD shall not excuse the permit holder from renewing the permit or from any penalty for failure to renew the permit.
(D) A permit issued pursuant to this section shall be personal to the permit holder and is not transferable.
(E) A permit issued pursuant to this section may be suspended or revoked pursuant to the conditions and procedures established in § 95.99.
