      When any unregistered alarm or alarm system generates a false alarm as defined herein, the alarm administrator shall provide written notification, by mail, to the alarm user that he or she is now required to apply for and obtain an alarm registration permit and pay an alarm registration permit fee of fifteen dollars ($15).
      The alarm registration application shall be available through the Alarm Administrator and must be submitted within ten (10) business days of receipt of the notification. A $15 late fee shall be added to any registration application not received within the 10-day period.
      The Alarm Administrator shall, at the same time, inform the alarm user that the next false alarm occurring at the alarm location within a consecutive three hundred and sixty-five (365) calendar day period shall result in a false alarm assessment in the amount of fifty-two dollars ($52). The notification shall also include the following:
      1. A copy of this alarm ordinance, and 2. False alarm education material including, but not limited to, information regarding the availability of online false alarm educational classes.
      Any law enforcement response to a false alarm occurring at a location in which a prior false alarm has occurred and resulted in the registration requirement noted above in Subsection (A) and the alarm user has failed to obtain the required alarm registration, shall result in an additional thirty dollar ($30) fee for failure to comply with the registration requirements.
      Once an alarm or alarm system has been registered pursuant to Subsection A, above, the alarm user shall submit an alarm registration permit renewal application annually and pay an alarm permit renewal fee of $15.

        Queen Creek, AZ:

        As of 04/04/2023 no information regarding alarm registration is available.

        The Arizona Fire & Medical Authority Governing Board has adopted a fee schedule to address excessive false alarms. Per this schedule, false alarm fees may be imposed for responses to repetitive false (nuisance) responses to fire and medical alarms. No fee shall be imposed for the initial three (3) fire alarm or medical responses to any residential or commercial occupancy within a 12 calendar month period. No fee shall be charged if the fire alarm is a result of a fire. No fee shall be charged if the medical alarm results in medical treatment by EMS personnel. Canceled en-route incidents are considered an event since the apparatus was deployed and thus an incident report must be generated.

        Arizona Revised Statues authorize the Authority to establish fees for provided services. The Authority uses the false alarm fees as a financial disincentive to encourage individuals and business owners to correct alarm equipment issues in a timely manner and limit the unnecessary impact on Authority response resources.
