Does Coconut Creek Require an Alarm Permit?
No upfront permit is required for residential alarms. Unlike many neighboring Broward County cities, the City of Coconut Creek does not currently force homeowners to pay an annual registration fee just to have an alarm system installed.
However, you are still financially responsible for your system. If your alarm malfunctions and the Coconut Creek Police Department is dispatched unnecessarily, the city strictly enforces expensive false alarm fines against the homeowner.
Coconut Creek False Alarm Fine Schedule
Local law enforcement spends thousands of hours responding to false alarms caused by cheap DIY equipment, low batteries, and user error. To combat this, the Coconut Creek Police Department strictly enforces progressive fines for excessive false police dispatches.
If an officer is dispatched to respond to an alarm and it is discovered that the alarm was triggered unnecessarily, the homeowner is informed of the false alarm. If the problem is not fixed, the fines begin to stack up:
| False Alarm Count (Rolling 12-Month Period) | Residential Fine |
|---|---|
| 1st & 2nd False Alarm | Warning / No Charge |
| 3rd False Alarm | $100.00 Fine |
| 4th & Successive False Alarms | $100.00 Fine (Per Occurrence) |
