Alarm Registration

The City's False Alarm Ordinance requires all residential and business alarm owners to register their systems, and keep their registration information updated and current.

There is no fee or cost involved in registering your alarm, but alarm owners who fail to register their systems (or don't keep information updated) are subject to a $100 penalty.

The ordinance is designed to encourage alarm owners to properly use and maintain their alarm systems, thereby reducing an inordinate amount of false alarms in Johns Creek. 

Facts

  • If your alarm is not registered with the City, please complete the online registration on the False Alarm Reduction website.
  • If you have registered your alarm in the past (prior to August 1, 2013), you need to re-register at the False Alarm Reduction website.

  • There is no cost to register, but as of Sept. 1, 2013, there is a $100 penalty if you do not (or do not keep your information updated when you make changes).
