False Alarm Fines (Per Permit Year)

Under Lee County Ordinance 03-09 section 4 part B , the following fines shall be required for each false alarm per alarm system within one permit year

False Alarm	Fine	Notes
1st & 2nd	$25.00 each	No fine for 1st if registered
3rd and 4th	$50.00 each
5th & 6th	$100.00 each
7th & 8th	$200.00 each
9th+	$400.00 each

If you fail to register your alarm system, the Sheriff’s Office may impose a $200.00 fine for each false alarm generated by a non-permitted alarm system.
The Sheriff’s Office has agreed to reduce the $200.00 non-permitted alarm fine to $25.00 if the alarm system is registered within 30 days of receiving the non-permitted alarm notice. Any additional non-permitted alarm fines incurred during that period will be adjusted to the permitted alarm fine schedule once the account is registered.
