I have a Home or Business Fire or Police Alarm System. Do I need a permit?

The City of Somersworth ordinances requires all alarm holders to receive a yearly alarm permit that covers the period of January 1st until December 31st. The fee is $25.00 for the initial alarm permit and renewal is $10.00 thereafter if registered before January 31st. Alarm renewal permits issued Feb 1st through Dec 31st cost $20.00. If the alarm permit requested is for a home alarm system and the owner is 65 or older, the permit is free of charge. The Alarm Permit Application Form may be found at the Police Department page under Forms.

This alarm renewal system allows us to update your alarm system callbacks and is very important as contacts change and their telephone numbers also change. We know these changes can occur at any time and are always happy to update your alarm system callback records at any time. Please contact Karen Cantrell at (603) 841-2917 or email your changes here. If you have an alarm monitoring system, you will also need to update that company as well.
