Do I need to register my Fire Alarm or Medical Alarm?

Medical Alarms are not required to be registered with the City of Odessa. However, Fire Alarm systems must be registered. This includes residential and commercial alarm systems. Registration forms may be obtained through the Odessa Police Department Records Division. Commercial alarm fees are $25 for new registration and there is a $20 yearly renewal fee. Residential alarm fees are $20 for new registration and there is a $15 yearly renewal fee. Fines may result in failure to register an alarm. The City of Odessa will record false or mistaken alarms. Citations may be issued for three or more false/mistaken alarms within a 12 month period.

Contact the Police Department Records Unit at 432-335-3306 for more information.
