Alarms
All Rutland City residences and business that operate an alarm system must be registered.
Chapter 4 § 4182. Permit required; application procedure (a) Permit required. No person shall operate or have installed an alarm system within the City of Rutland without first acquiring a permit from the city.
This can be done by filling out the Alarm Application form and sending it with a check ($25 for residences, and $75 for businesses) to the Rutland City Police Department. See form for instructions.
§ 4184. Types of permit; fees; exemptions (a) A residential permit shall include all private dwellings, summer (vacation) residences, individual apartments, rental property or condominium units occupied by the applicant, for which the applicant shall pay the City of Rutland a permit fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00). (b) A commercial permit shall include all businesses, corporations, or unincorporated associations, for which the applicant will pay to the City of Rutland a permit fee of seventy-five dollars ($75.00).
