What the official sources tell us

Harrisburg assigns false-alarm billing to its Bureau of Licensing, Taxation and Central Support. The reviewed city page does not publish a homeowner registration form, scope, fee or renewal schedule.

How we handle uncertainty: If an official source does not say something clearly, we label it “not specified” rather than assume.
