About each permit
Commercial Security Alarm Permit (Sheriff)
Operating a security alarm system at commercial premises in the unincorporated area of El Paso County requires a permit from the Sheriff's Office Alarm Permit Officer (3850 Justice Dr, (915) 538-2292), one permit per alarm site. The commercial fee is $60 for the initial permit and for each renewal, and each permit is valid for three years; the residential fee is lower and is not covered here. The Order excludes premises located in an incorporated area, so a business inside the City of El Paso or another municipality is outside it. The county's alarm application form also sets a $75 service fee for each false alarm above five in twelve months. The permit is a condition of using an alarm, not a general business license; it applies only to a business that operates an alarm system at an unincorporated site.
