What is the fee for an alarm business permit?
The annual fee is $35. Only alarm businesses must obtain a permit. A large alarm business may have hundreds of clients within the City of Appleton and they only pay a single annual fee of $35. However, if you have installed or use your own alarm system and have contracted with a central alarm monitoring station, without using an alarm business, or have the alarm set up so that passerbys will notify the police when they see or hear the alarm signal that was activated, then you need to obtain a permit from the City. An individual alarm user, who contracts with an alarm business, does not have to obtain a permit.
