§ 28-119. Approved alarm systems and businesses.

(1)

All alarm systems installed after the effective date of this article [January 1, 2013] must meet the minimum requirements of the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) and the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) as listed for that purpose.

(2)

All alarm businesses installing alarm systems after the effective date of this article [January 1, 2013] shall be properly licensed by the State of Florida registered with the sheriff's office and have a valid and current business tax receipt issued by the Orange County Tax Collector.

(3)

Approved alarm businesses shall provide complete address information when requesting law enforcement response to an alarm site. An approved alarm business that either reports an incomplete address for the alarm site in question (e.g., apartment complex address, but no unit number; office building, but no suite number), or whose technicians are responsible for generating false alarms, which result in a request for law enforcement response, shall be responsible for paying any service fees incurred by the property owner or alarm user stemming from the call for law enforcement service. Failure of an approved alarm business to rectify incomplete address issues, or that repeatedly requests law enforcement response to incomplete addresses or due to technician error, may face revocation of the alarm business registration.
