Do you have your alarm permit?
Have you renewed your alarm permit?

All owners of burglar alarms, whether residential or business, must have a current alarm permit from the City of High Point as described in Title 5, Chapter 1, Article F of the High Point Code of Ordinances. Section 5-1-47(a) of that Article makes it unlawful for any alarm user to operate an alarm system within the city without a permit. In accordance with Section 1-1-4 of the High Point Code of Ordinances, not obtaining an alarm permit can lead to fines or jail time. The application is a one page form, and once we have received your completed application and fees, we will issue a permit for your alarm device.

You must get a permit before your alarm is activated. The application may be obtained from your alarm company or from the Collections Division on the 2 nd floor of City Hall, at City Hall at the Mall, or online. There is a one-time fee of $15. You may also inquire about the application by calling 336-883-3050.

If you have an alarm with a current permit, your permit should be renewed annually by July 1. Do not request a renewal permit, one will be mailed to you in June. Complete the form and mail it back to the city. There is NO fee for renewal.

If you relocate within the city and have an alarm, a new application must be submitted and a $15 fee will be charged.

All alarms must have a permit, even if the alarm is not monitored.

If you move out of the city, please contact us at 883-3286, so that the alarm permit can be canceled.

If you have a dispute about a bill, please call the High Point Police Dept., at 883-7967, and leave a message.
