No. The Township does not have an alarm registration ordinance. It is suggested you keep your alarm company up to date with after hour contact information in case of an emergency.
You must first obtain a permit from the Township before placing building or other materials, a dumpster or other trash receptacle or any other items within or otherwise occupy any portion of any Township or state road, including but not limited to the sidewalk. You must comply with the requirements found under Section 152-31 of the Township Code before a permit will be issued.
