No alarm permit in Apple Valley
We found no alarm permit or registration requirement in the Apple Valley Town Code.
The Town’s alarm rules are in Chapter 11.60, False Police Alarms, which sets service charges for repeat false alarms rather than a permit program. The Town’s adopted fee schedule also lists no alarm permit fee.
The Town’s noise rules require an exterior burglar alarm to stop sounding within 15 minutes of activation (Section 9.73.060), so we set outdoor sirens to shut off automatically.
Code reference. Apple Valley Town Code Chapter 11.60, False Police Alarms.
