Alarm Registration & Renewal
The City of Huntsville Ordinance 21-984 requires the registration of security alarm systems within Huntsville city limits. Alarm systems may be registered by the alarm company at the time of installation, but residential and commercial alarm system owners should contact the Public Safety Alarms Office to confirm registration status. Unregistered alarm systems are subject to a $100 fine in addition to assessed penalties for unexcused false alarm activations.
Read a Summary of the Alarm Ordinance and follow the instructions below for residential and commercial security alarm systems.

The number printed on an alarm permit decal is renewable from year to year. When you renew your alarm permit, the permit number will automatically be renewed. If the decal is in good condition, a replacement is unnecessary. If the alarm permit decal is no longer posted or the condition has deteriorated, contact CryWolf to request a replacement.
