Does Richmond Hill have an alarm ordinance?
Yes. Within 10 days after the installation of an alarm system, the person or business maintaining such alarm system shall register such alarm system with the police department. Registration is for business and educational facilities only. There is a $4.00 fee payable to the City of Richmond Hill at which point an alarm registration number will be issued. Decals must be displayed within four feet of the front door of the alarmed premises. The false alarm fine ranges from $90.00 to $750.00 depending on the number of false alarms in a 12 month period. There is no fine for 5 or less alarms.
