Public reminded to register alarm systems
LIHU`E — The Kauai Police Department is reminding residents and businesses to
register or renew their alarm systems in order to comply with the Kauai County Code.
According to the Kauai County Code, Ordinance 931, all residential and commercial
alarms must be registered with the Kauai 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 for each occurrence that KPD responds to, whether it is an actual incident or false
alarm. There is no charge for the first two false alarms within a 12-month period from the date of
registration; however, the third false alarm and all false alarms thereafter activated from any
premises, shall cause the alarm holder/user to be assessed a service charge of $100 per
occurrence. If an account has an outstanding balance, KPD has the discretion to hand all
pertinent information over to a collection agency for remedy.
To register your alarm system, complete the following steps:
• Obtain an application either online at www.kauaigov/police/police, or in person at
County of Kauai, Alarm Records and Billing, 3990 Ka`ana St., Suite 200, Lihu`e,
HI 96766.
• Submit your completed form via in person or by mail and a $25 registration fee
payable to "County of Kauai, Alarm Records and Billing." Cash will not be
accepted.
All changes to the registration/permit need to be submitted in writing or faxed to
808-241-1659.
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 Kauai Police Department at 241-1909.
