On August 9, 2010 The Mansfield City Council amended the Mansfield Code of Ordinances, Chapter 97 (Alarm Systems). This ordinance was amended to contain new permit fees and reporting requirements. All current alarm permits will expire September 30, 2010. A new permit application and required fee must be received before October 31, 2010.
All businesses and residences that are equipped with an alarm system that can summon City emergency services in any manner are required to have a permit within the City of Mansfield.
The cost of the permit is $50 per residential site (Persons 65 years of age and older are exempt from residential site fee), $100 per commercial site and church site, and $200 per financial institution site. Alarm permits are valid for a period of one year from date of issuance.
Permits may be obtained by completing a residential application or commercial application (commercial applications may be used for church and financial sites) and submitting it with payment, either in person or by mail, to the Mansfield Police Department located at 1601 Heritage Parkway or Police Records, 1305 E. Broad Street, Mansfield, 76063. Both locations are open 8-5 Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
The alarm permit ordinance allows the alarm user three false alarms in any 12-month period. Additional false alarms or operating an alarm system without a permit may subject the owner/operator to a fine as follows:
- The first three (3) false alarm calls are at no charge.
- The fourth (4) & fifth (5) false alarm calls within the preceding 12 month period will be $50.00.
- The sixth (6) & seventh (7) false alarm calls within the preceding 12 month period will be $75.00.
