Published response charges
False fire alarms
The township’s fee schedule lists escalating false-fire-alarm charges beginning after repeated responses. Check the current schedule before relying on an amount.
Coverage note
Fire-alarm information
False-fire-alarm fees are published, but a response-fee schedule is not the same as an alarm-registration requirement.
Official information
Sources, scope and local contact
Check these government pages before you register, pay a fee or rely on the fine schedule.
The reviewed township pages and fee schedule document fire-alarm response charges and construction administration, but they do not provide a current, general homeowner burglar-alarm registration instruction.
