False Alarm Update
Historically, the City of Rockwall has experienced an increasing number of false alarms requiring a response from the City’s public safety departments.  To reduce false alarms, the City has amended its False Alarm ordinance.  Reducing the number of false alarms Police and Fire Departments respond to each year will allow public safety personnel to devote more resources to keeping the community safe.

The amended ordinance requires a non-refundable annual registration fee of $30.00 for residential alarm systems and $50.00 for commercial alarm systems as of January 1, 2009. If a residence or business currently has an alarm permit on file, payment of the registration fee is due on the anniversary date in 2009.

An alarm system may consist of one or multiple types of alarms including burglary, robbery, security or fire.  A separate permit will be required for each street address and security/fire alarm system.  Each false alarm occurring after the third false alarm, within a 12 month period, is a violation of the ordinance.  Failure to register an alarm system could result in a fine.  False alarms may indicate that the alarm system is not functioning properly, may not be reliable or there may be a need for training of family members or employees.

Home and business owners can register their security or fire alarm by visiting the following link:

Registration forms will also be available at City Hall, located at 385 S. Goliad, or the Rockwall Police Department, located at 205 W. Rusk.
