§ 50-335. Alarm systems in apartment complexes furnished by the apartment complex as an amenity.

(a)

If the owner or property manager of an apartment complex, consisting of more than six units, provides alarm systems in the units as an amenity, the owner or property manager of the apartment complex shall obtain a master alarm permit from the alarm administrator. The annual fee for this permit and for each renewal of this permit shall be determined and set by the Board of Police Commissioners of Kansas City, Missouri. All units, whether occupied or not, shall be included in calculating the required fee.

(b)

For purposes of assessing fees and enforcing this article, the master alarm permit holder is responsible for payment of fees for false alarm dispatches emitted from the alarm systems in residential units.

(c)

The owner or property manager of an apartment complex shall obtain a separate alarm permit for any alarm system operated in a non-residential area of the apartment complex, including, but not limited to, common tenant areas and office, storage and equipment areas. An annual fee for such a permit shall be the same as the fee for an alarm site.
