Frisco, TX, Alarm Ordinance in Effect on March 1, 2010
Beginning March 1, the Frisco, TX, Police Department will
begin enforcement of the city's new residential and business
burglar alarm ordinance.
The city council passed the ordinance late last year, but
officials held off on enforcing it to give residents and
business owners time to comply.
The new ordinance requires a $35 annual fee for residential
and business alarms and establishes a new fee schedule for
excessive false alarms. In 2009, the Frisco Police
Department responded to 9,841 alarms and 99.6% of those were
false alarms, city records show.
To help mitigate the cost of responding to false alarms,
residents will now have to pay up to $100 for excessive
false alarms in a 12-month period. And alarm permit holders
are required to give their alarm companies the names and
telephone numbers of three contacts who are able to respond
to a false alarm. Failure by the alarm permit holder or the
three contacts to respond within 30 minutes of a false alarm
may result in a $50 fine.
