This web site provides information about alarm
system permits for residential and commercial facilities.
Harris County’s alarm permit policy is authorized by
statute and regulations adopted by Harris County Commissioners
Court.
From this site, you may obtain the Harris
County Revised Rules Governing Regulation of Alarm Systems
in Harris County (January, 2002), complete and print an
Alarm Permit application form, find the various locations
where Alarm Permit applications may be picked up, and find
answers to various common questions regarding the operation
of alarm systems in Harris County. Currently, there is no
way to access information about existing alarm permits,
alarm sites, or violations on this web page; however, plans
are underway to expand public access through the creation
of interactive web pages for:
- Obtaining an alarm permit by credit card
- Renewing permits by credit card
- Obtaining status information about specific alarm permits
and sites
- Updating alarm permit information online
We urge you to return periodically
to see new page links that enhance your ability to manage
your permit information.
