Frequently asked questions

RING has indicated they will not be responsible for no response policies for your local fire ordinance. How can I insure my fire alarm will be responded to?

The city of Ann Arbor requires a commercial property to be inspected by the fire department. We do not have specific information on how to arrange a fire inspection, more information can be found below, or you can contact the fire department. Our role here is to assist in helping you get registered online for Police. You are no longer required to register your alarm system if you have a 'fire only' alarm. More info on registering for police alarms and fire inspections can be found on these pages

IF YOU RECEIVE A LARGER FINE IN YOUR INVOICE: If you receive an invoice for $119 or $287 it is because you were not registered at the time of the false alarm and the registration fee was added to your false alarm fee. Please register anyway, as the 911 center needs your contact information in case of emergency.

Battle Creek

City of Battle Creek :

As of 10/25/2022 there is no information regarding false alarms for the City of Battle Creek. We were able to locate an ordinance from the year 1985 for alarm registration:

803.04 ALARM USER PERMITS.

(a) Before the operation of an alarm system, or within thirty days after the effective date of this chapter (Ordinance 13-85, passed July 16, 1985) for alarm systems in operation on such date, every alarm user in the City shall obtain an alarm user permit for each alarm system operated within the City from the Police Department or the Fire Department. This section does not require an alarm system agent or an alarm system contractor to obtain a permit when it leases or provides services to alarm system users. However, if an alarm system agent or alarm system contractor uses an alarm system to protect its own premises, it shall obtain a permit. (Ord 14-87. Passed 10-13-87.)
(b) An alarm user applying for a permit shall pay a registration and inspection fee as provided in Section 802.24 and complete a permit application form with the following information: (1) His or her name; (2) The address of the residence or business in or upon which the alarm system has been or will be installed; (3) His or her home and business telephone number; (4) The type and purpose of the alarm system; (5) The name of the alarm system agent or alarm system contractor selling, installing, monitoring, inspecting, responding to and/or maintaining the alarm system; and (6) The name and telephone number of at least three persons who can be reached at any time, day or night, who are authorized to promptly respond to an alarm system, who can open the premises in which the system is installed and who live fifteen miles or less from the premises. The inability of the Police Department to contact an individual named in this paragraph, or the failure of such individual to promptly respond to a police inquiry, shall relieve the Police Department of any obligation for the safekeeping of property and premises.
(c) Any alarm system designed to detect the presence of fire or smoke shall also be registered with the Fire Department. An alarm user applying for a permit under this subsection shall pay a registration and inspection fee as provided in Section 802.24, provided that such fee is waived if payment has been made pursuant to Section 803.04(b), and shall complete a permit application with the following information: (1) His or her name; (2) The address of the residence or business in or upon which the alarm system has been or will be installed; (3) His or her home and business telephone numbers; (4) The name of the alarm system agent or alarm system contractor selling, installing, monitoring, inspecting, responding to and/or maintaining the alarm system; and (5) The location of the annunciation panel.
(d) Any change in the information required by subsection (b) or (c) hereof shall be communicated to the Police Department or the Fire Department, whichever is appropriate, within forty-eight hours of the change. (Ord. 13-85. Passed 7-16-85.)
(e) Any alarm system designed to emit an audible siren, noise, flashing light, beacon or other sound or light annunciation so as to signal persons outside the premises shall be equipped to automatically terminate the local annunciation of the alarm system within five minutes (fifteen minutes in Agricultural and Heavy Industrial Districts) from the initial light or sound emission. (Ord. 14-87. Passed 10-13-87.)

803.05 FALSE ALARMS; ALARM SAFETY BOARD; REVOCATION OF PERMITS.

(a) An alarm user shall pay to the City a fee for all false alarms which occur in any calendar year. Each calendar year shall run from 12:01 a.m. January 1 until 12:01 a.m. of the following January 1. The failure to pay such fees shall be cause for revocation of the alarm user permit and unpaid fees may be assessed against the real property tax for the premises and become a lien thereon. All fees which shall be charged shall be prescribed in the schedule provided for in Section 802.24. (Ord. 12-93. Passed 7-27-93; Ord. 11-2015. Passed 1-5-16.)
(b) Alarm conditions caused by the following extenuating circumstances shall not constitute a false alarm and no false alarm fee shall be charged by the City under such circumstances: (1) Alarm system malfunctions, if occurring within thirty days from the effective date of this chapter (Ordinance 13-85, passed July 16, 1985) for all alarm systems currently in use, or within thirty days after the installation of an alarm system, whichever is later, if made for the purpose of evaluating the alarm system and making necessary adjustments to eliminate false alarms, and if corrective measures have been instituted. "Corrective measures" means the alarm user has had the system inspected by an alarm system contractor who shall cause a written report containing the results of the inspection, the probable cause for the false alarm, the nature of any repairs undertaken or performed to remedy the malfunction, and the contractor's recommendation for limiting false alarms, to be filed with the Police Department or the Fire Department, whichever is appropriate, within five days of the inspection. (2) Meteorological or geological conditions when a large number of alarms or a large area of the City is affected; (3) Alarms activated by the disruption or disturbance of telephone or other communication systems, by motor vehicle-utility pole accidents, or by mechanical or electrical failure of the system or by industrial or commercial accidents to the system; or (4) Alarm conditions being activated by persons working on the alarm system with prior notification to the Police Department, or, in the case of fire alarm systems, to the Fire Department: A system that malfunctions due to mechanical or electrical failure will be put out of service until it is inspected and repaired by a licensed alarm system contractor and until the system has been declared fit for service by the contractor. Appearance before the Alarm Safety Board pursuant to this section is not required. Except for the circumstances set forth in paragraph (b)(4) hereof, which circumstances require prior notification, the alarm user shall notify the Police Department, or in the case of fire alarm systems, the Fire Department, by filling out an alarm notification card and returning it to the Police Department or the Fire Department, whichever is appropriate, within five business days. The timely return of an alarm notification card which indicates that the cause of the alarm was one of the reasons enumerated in this subsection shall result in no false alarm fee notice being sent to the alarm user. Failure to notify the Police Department or the Fire Department will result in an automatic billing to the user. (Ord. 14-87. Passed 10-13-87.)
(c) Within five business days following the response of a police officer to an alarm call, a representative of the Police Chief, or within five business days following the response of fire fighters to an alarm call, a representative of the Fire Chief, shall mail an alarm notification card to the alarm user as named on the permit in Section 803.04.
(d) Within five business days of the date of receipt of the alarm notification card, the alarm user shall return the completed card to the Police Department or the Fire Department, whichever is appropriate. Failure by the alarm user to return the card shall cause an automatic billing of the false alarm fee to be sent to the alarm user.
(e) If, upon receiving a false alarm fee notice, the alarm user wishes to request a waiver due to extenuating circumstances, he or she may do so, in writing, within ten business days of the assessment date. The waiver request to the Police Department or the Fire Department, whichever is appropriate, shall contain documentation of the extenuating circumstances involved. Within thirty days of the receipt of the waiver request by the Police Department or the Fire Department, the Police Chief or the Fire Chief or his or her designated agent shall make a determination on the waiver request and shall notify the alarm user of the decision. (Ord. 13-85. Passed 7-16-85.)
(f) If the alarm user is not satisfied with the decision rendered by the Police Chief or the Fire Chief, or the designated agent thereof, an additional request for a waiver may be filed within five business days of such decision for appeal to the Alarm Safety Board. At its next regularly scheduled meeting after receipt of the waiver request and documentation of extenuating circumstances, the Board shall review the request, make a determination on the waiver and notify the alarm user of the decision.
(g) There is hereby established an Alarm Safety Board. The Board shall consist of seven members. The members and their initial terms of office shall be proposed by the AMSA Council and confirmed by the City Commission. The Board shall include one fire chief, one police chief, one governmental official and four members at large. The terms shall be three years (initial terms may be shorter) and the members shall receive no compensation. Members shall be residents of the AMSA area. A quorum shall consist of three members of the Board. A member shall not pass on any question in which he or she has an interest.
(h) An alarm system charged with more than four false alarm fee notices in a twelve-month period is deemed defective and, upon written notice to the owner or lessee of the alarm system, at the address listed in the registration of the alarm system, by the Police Department or the Fire Department, the owner or lessee of the alarm system may appear before the Board to show cause why the alarm user permit should not be revoked. The alarm user shall have up to ten minutes to make an oral presentation and the Police Chief, the Fire Chief or the representative thereof shall have up to ten minutes in rebuttal. At such hearing the Board may order the owner or lessee of the alarm system to correct the system or may order the revocation of the alarm user permit. The decision of the Board shall be final. (Ord. 14-87. Passed 10-13-87.)
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this chapter, light or sound annunciation alarm systems which malfunction twice within a thirty-day period or four times within a calendar year are deemed defective and shall be put out of service until inspected by an alarm service contractor who shall, within fifteen days after inspection, file a written report to the Police Chief of the results of his or her inspection of the system. Upon receipt of the report, the Police Chief shall forward the report to the alarm user, giving written notice that the alarm user may appear before the Board to show cause why the alarm user permit should not be revoked pursuant to the procedures set forth in subsection (h) hereof.
(j) Failure to comply with any provision or order in this section shall result, after due notice, in the revocation of the registration or permit provided for in this chapter. (Ord. 13-85. Passed 7-16-85.)

Make Check Payable and Mail to:

City of Lansing Treasurer
124 W. Michigan Ave, 1st Floor
Lansing, Mi 48933

*Make sure you have your invoice number and the correct amount due to insure your payment is applied to the correct account.

Can my fee be waived if I have a Burglar/Fire Alarm combination?

If you have a burglar/FIRE alarm combination alarm panel, you are exempt from the $25 registration fee. Please contact your alarm company that installed the dual fire/burglar alarm panel system for a 'Certificate of Installation'. When you receive your invoice, please mail the invoice back with the certificate of installation, and we will add your credit. If you have the ability to scan in your certificate, you can do so and email it to Support@alarmsupport.org.

When an alarm owner installs 'Ring' and they do not have a monitoring company, what number should they call if they see a burglary in progress?

The city of Lansing requires you to reregister if you move or change your alarm company. If you do not move or change your alarm company your registration will not expire.
