Do I need an alarm permit?

The simple answer is maybe.

Many cities and jurisdictions now require homes and/or businesses to apply for an alarm permit. As the requirements continue to change, it's difficult for us to keep an accurate database of which cities require one.

For assistance on this topic, please email service@epicalarm.com or call 888-969-3742 and a member of our team would be happy to assist.

We've also compiled a growing list of links to different cities which we are aware of, please see below of links we are aware of.
