Do I need to register a residential alarm in Tredyffrin Township?

Yes. Tredyffrin says homes with an existing or newly installed alarm must register. The township lists a one-time $45 fee; the fee is waived for people over 65, although registration is still required.

How to apply and renew

Download and complete the township’s Alarm Permit Registration Form. Residential users submit the form with the one-time fee unless the over-65 waiver applies.

The township’s police page directly states that residential alarm systems must be registered. It does not say that residential coverage is limited to monitored alarms.

$45 one-time fee. People over 65 register but receive a fee waiver.
