Pursuant to City Ordinance 788, all Southlake residential and commercial properties that have an active alarm system capable of dispatching Police or Fire Services, must obtain a City of Southlake Alarm Permit.  Please contact Finance Administration with any questions at 817-748-8314.

The purpose of obtaining an alarm permit is to encourage alarm users and alarm businesses to maintain operational reliability and properly use alarm systems to reduce or eliminate False Alarm Dispatch Requests. Resolving and preventing false alarms is a joint responsibility of the alarm user and the alarm company. Identify the cause of every false alarm and contact your alarm company for alarm system maintenance and/or additional training on how to properly use the alarm system.
