Public reminded to register alarm systems
LĪHU‘E – The Kaua‘i Police Department is reminding residents and businesses to
register or renew their alarm systems in order to comply with the Kaua‘i County Code.
According to the Kaua‘i County Code, Ordinance 931, all residential, commercial and
governmental alarms must be registered with the Kaua‘i Police Department prior to activation or
installation. Fire, auto and medical alarms are excluded.
The fee to register an alarm is $25 for the first year, and $10 upon renewal for each
subsequent year. Registration fees are non-transferable. Expired or unregistered alarms could
face a fine up to $150 for each occurrence that KPD responds to, whether it is an actual incident
or false alarm.
“When police unknowingly respond to false alarms, they become unavailable to
situations where they are truly needed,” stated Kaua‘i Police Chief Darryl Perry. “Properly
registered and maintained alarm systems reduces this risk and protects the safety of others.”
To register your alarm system, complete the following steps:
Obtain an application either online at www.kauai.gov/police, or in person at
County of Kaua‘i, Alarm Records and Billing, 3990 Ka‘ana St., Suite 200, Līhu‘e,
HI 96766.
Submit your completed form via in person or by mail and a $25 registration fee
payable to “County of Kaua‘i, Alarm Records and Billing.” Cash will not be
accepted.
All changes to the registration/permit need to be submitted in writing or faxed to
(808) 241-1642.
As a courtesy, alarm renewal reminders are emailed to registered alarm holders 30
days prior to expiration. However, it is the responsibility of the alarm holder or user to keep the
account current to avoid fines and fees.
For more information regarding the alarm permit application, billing or payment process,
call the Kaua‘i Police Department at 241-1909.
