The Fort Worth Alarm Permit Application is a mandatory form for residents and businesses installing any alarm system within Fort Worth city limits. Required under Chapter 12 of the City Code since January 1, 2004, the permit ensures your alarm system is properly registered with the city's Alarm Unit.
Any property owner or tenant who installs a burglary, fire, holdup, or other alarm system must obtain an alarm permit. A separate permit is required for each alarm system. Government entities are exempt. The permit holder must be an individual, not a company.
The standard fee is $50 for both commercial and residential permits. Accepted payment methods include check, money order, Visa, or MasterCard, payable to the City of Fort Worth, Texas. Qualifying low-income families may apply for a complete fee waiver under the city's accessibility provisions.
Complete all fields including: permit type (commercial or residential), permit status (new or renewal), alarm company name and phone number, alarm type, property address, and personal contact information. The permit holder must sign and date the application.
Alarm permits must be renewed annually. The Planning and Development Department's Alarm Unit processes all applications. Permits expire on the date shown and must be renewed before expiration to avoid violations.
Property owners in other locations may need a different form. See the Philadelphia Alarm Permit Application, the Dallas Alarm Permit Application, or the Harris County Alarm Permit for other jurisdictions.
