(1) No alarm user shall operate, or cause to be operated, an alarm system at its alarm site without a valid alarm user permit. A separate application and permit is required for each alarm site.
(2) An alarm user permit is valid for a period of up to twelve (12) months, commencing on the first day of the month in which the permit is issued and automatically expiring the next calendar year on the last day of the month in which it was originally issued, and may be renewed for additional twelve-month periods by filing an application for renewal and payment of the fifteen dollar ($15.00) nonrefundable administrative fee.
(3) No alarm user permit shall be issued or renewed if the applicant has:
(a) Failed to pay the alarm user permit administrative fee;
(b) Failed to pay any civil fine imposed by section 13-73.2;
(c) Made a material false statement for the purpose of receiving an alarm user permit; or
(d) Had an alarm user permit for the alarm site suspended or revoked and the violation causing the suspension or revocation has not been corrected.
(4) When the alarm administrator has recorded an alarm for an alarm user who has not applied for, or not renewed, an alarm user permit, the alarm administrator will issue a warning statement to the alarm user informing the alarm user that he is in violation of this article and that the alarm user has ten (10) days from the date of the warning within which to apply for a permit. If the alarm user fails to apply for the permit within the ten-day grace period, the alarm administrator shall issue an administrative citation initiating an enforcement proceeding before the alarm advisory board.
