Lady Lake updates false alarm policy for businesses

Lady Lake commissioners have approved an update to its regulation for alarms for businesses.

Among the changes, business owners do not have to show up in person in case of a false alarm. Technology now gives those owners the ability to deactivate the alarm remotely. Owners will also not be penalized for false alarms due to lightning or electrical power line work.

The charge for a false alarm is $50, although the first four false alarms per year per business are not assessed a fee. This fiscal year, Lady Lake has collected $2,700 in false alarm fees, an average of six false alarms per month. In 2013, the town collected $4,700 in false alarm fees, an average of $400 per month or eight false alarms per month.
