Alarm Permits

A permit shall be required for any business or residential entity to use, operate or cause to be used or operated, any alarm system within the city.

A separate permit application is required for each business or residential alarm site.

An annual, non-refundable fee must be paid upon filing of an application for a new or renewal permit. The permit is valid for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance and may be renewed by submitting an updated application and renewal fee to the police department. The fees for a business/commercial alarm system and for a residential alarm system are as provided in the Code of Ordinances .  

Applications should be filled out and submitted to the Gatesville Police Department.

The Gatesville Police Department now has an online option available for our citizens to use for acquiring and renewing their alarm permits. We encourage all citizens to use the new online portal for ease of use and convenience.

The paper application is still available for those who would prefer that option.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to the alarm permit team at our email at alarmpermits@gatesvilletx.com. 

The online portal is located below under the Web Links section.
