The City of Tigard maintains an alarm ordinance to protect "emergency services"
of the City from misuse. Information from alarm permits expedites response time
providing officers with a contact person at the alarm location.
Tigard Police Department respond to alarm calls at business and residential locations
with more than 98% identified as false alarms. False alarms detract from the
Police Department's ability to address more urgent or time sensitive issues.
Security Alarm Permit Guidelines
- All residences and businesses within the City of Tigard using a security alarm must have an
"alarm user" permit. The annual alarm permit fee is $25 and is valid for
one year for residential and business alarm permits.
- Government agencies, disabled residents and residents age 60 and over are exempt from the annual
alarm permit fee; however, they must obtain an alarm permit. Alarm users are required to apply
for an alarm permit within 30 days of alarm installation and activation.
- To encourage citizens to reduce false alarms, fines are imposed. A $50 fine is assessed upon the third false alarm, then increasing with each subsequent false alarm up to $150 for each occurrence.
- Failure to pay false alarm fines will result in suspension of police services and a $25 late charge for any fine not paid within 30 days of invoice date.
- When responding to a false alarm, Tigard Police Officers leave a written notice at the alarm location identifying their visit and their findings.
- Please contact the Alarm Coordinator at 503-718-2565 or 503-718-2562 for information regarding permits, fees or applications.
