How to Register Your Alarm System in Deerfield Beach
While the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) handles actual police and fire dispatch for Deerfield Beach, the alarm registration itself is mandated and billed through the city. Operating an unregistered alarm subjects you to a $100 non-compliance penalty.
- Online Registration: Visit the official Deerfield Beach municipal portal to register your system and pay the $30 initial registration fee. You will need your property address and the contact info for your security provider (Protect Pros LLC).
- Permitting: Remember that any hardwired modifications or major structural security equipment installations also require a low-voltage electrical permit from the Deerfield Beach Building Department.
