What does it mean that an extra fee is charged for each and every false alarm after the first one received by the City in any twelve month period?
When a residence or business has a false alarm, the alarm date and time is listed on their permit file. Each false alarm entered on the record stays on file for exactly twelve months (one year). After that year (to the exact date), the false alarm is removed from the record.

If the residence or business has more than one false alarm in any twelve month period, they are charged a false alarm fee. Each false alarm will stay on the permit record until they rotate off the next year. They will continue to count towards the total number of false alarms for the twelve months they are on the record.
