Chapter 88, Section 16 and 17 of the Troy City Code requires the registration of all alarm systems. The ordinance specifies:

"Within 14 days of installation of an alarm system, the alarm user shall obtain a permit and register their alarm with the City of Troy Police Department. The alarm user shall pay an annual permit renewal registration fee of ten dollars ($10.00), for each type of alarm control panel in use. (A typical household alarm has only one main control panel.) By January 30th of each year, all alarm users shall renew their alarm user permit and registration with the Troy Police Department. Any Alarm User who does not have a valid registered alarm or who has not obtained a permit will be assessed a fine in the amount of $100 for each notice to the Police Department of an alarm activation at the protected premises. The alarm provider company contracted to install and/or maintain an alarm must possess a State License and be registered with the City of Troy as an alarm system contractor."
