City of Atlanta False Alarm Reduction Program (FARP)

In an effort to improve public safety and to better allocate resources, the City of Atlanta has enacted a series of amendments to the existing False Alarm Ordinance. As of September 2013, all Atlanta residents must register their alarm systems.  The City's program is coordinated by CryWolf alarm monitoring service and software company which tracks and bills residents for false alarms. 

The City of Atlanta has provided four documents (see sidebar) with information for citizens about FARP, how to register to be in compliance, how to file a dispute, and ideas for prevention of false alarms.  Please take the time to read these documents. 

There is a $150 fine for not registering an alarm.  For the first false alarm activation each permit year, there is no fine, just a warning.  The second false alarm will result in a $50 fine to the homeowner.  Fines escalate for each false alarm afterward.  Failure to pay these fines will result in your case being sent to a collections agency.

The purpose of the ordinance is to encourage homeowners and security companies to properly use and maintain alarm systems and to reduce or eliminate false alarms, which unduly divert emergency services from responding to actual criminal activity and other emergencies.

If you are not registered with the City, please follow the directions below to complete the registration application:

  1. Go to : www.crywolfservices.com/atlantaga/
  2. Click on “New Accounts
  3. Click on “Apply for a Permit
  4. Complete all tabs with required information
  5. Click “Submit” and you will be provided with your completed registration form to keep for your records
