Alarm Ordinance

Hanover County requires an alarm permit for any business using an alarm service company connected to the Hanover 911 center. Businesses located in the Town of Ashland are exempt from this requirement.

Security alarm permits are intended to enhance public safety and to reduce unnecessary expenditure of public resources on false alarms.
