§ 70-28. Alarm registration requirements.

(a)

Alarm registration required. No alarm system shall be used unless the alarm user first obtains a registration for the alarm system with the county or its designee. For the purposes of complying with this section, an alarm company may obtain the registration for the alarm system as a service to the alarm user; provided that the alarm user shall ultimately remain responsible for obtaining the alarm registration prior to use of the alarm system. If a registration number is issued directly to the alarm user, the user shall provide the registration number to the alarm company to facilitate CCPD dispatch.

(b)

Nontransferability; new registration required upon transfer of property. An alarm registration is not transferable. Upon transfer of the possession of the premises at which an alarm system is maintained, the new alarm user shall obtain a registration for his or her alarm system no later than seven days after the acquisition of the property.

(c)

Reporting updated information. Whenever contact information provided on the alarm registration application changes, the alarm user shall provide correct information to the county or its designee within 30 days of the change. In addition, each registration year after the issuance of the registration, alarm users will receive from the county or its designee a notification requesting updated information. The alarm user shall respond to the county or its designee within 30 days of the issuance of the notice, whether or not any of the requested information has changed. Failure to comply may result in closure of the registration.

(d)

Multiple alarm systems. If an alarm user has more than one alarm system protecting the same or separate structures with different addresses and/or tenants, a separate registration shall be required for each alarm system, structure and/or tenant.
