Multnomah County alarm permit

Installing or activating an alarm system in your home or business helps to prevent crime and protect your property. Some alarm systems allow for automatic notification of law enforcement when a break-in occurs. Before installing an alarm system with this functionality and applying for a permit to operate the alarm system, please review any applicable local ordinances and review permit fees. You may apply online. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by email at alarms@mcso.us, or by calling 503-988-0511.
