Monitored Alarms Must Be Registered by Sept. 1
New city ordinance designed to cut down on false alarms.
Residents and businesses in Johns Creek who use a monitored alarm system must register by Sept. 1 in accordance with the city’s new false alarm ordinance.
Registration for free at www.JohnsCreekGA.gov/alarm. Monitored alarm owners who don’t register and receive a false alarm are subject to a $100 penalty.
Those who registered their systems before Aug. 1 need to re-register their systems to comply with the ordinance.
