What is the fee for false alarms?
In addition to the annual fees, alarm monitoring companies will be billed $90 for false burglar, panic or robbery alarms at any location inside Seattle city limits, when the Seattle Police Department (SPD) have been dispatched and arrive at the alarm location. If SPD is dispatched but the call is cancelled prior to SPD’s arrival at the alarm site, the false alarm fee is $30. If an alarm is due to an actual crime, no false alarm fee is charged. There is no false-alarm fee for a false fire alarm.
