Description
General Police Permit Information Various types of business activities are regulated through the Police Department by means of Police Permits. The Office of Finance processes the applications and collects fees, however, the Police Department has the regulatory responsibility. Each Police Permit application, except those for burglar alarms, is investigated as to any criminal background of the applicant(s); that the business is being conducted in the proper zone; and, where applicable, that nearby residents and business people are notified of a public hearing at which they may voice their approval or disapproval of the activities of some of the intended businesses. Conditional use permit provisions apply to various Police Permits. General Police Permit Renewal Information Police Permits have to be renewed annually; they become due on November 1st and become delinquent after December 31st of each year. Payment must be received by December 31st or the permit will be cancelled on Jan 1. It is a misdemeanor to continue to operate after the permit is cancelled. New Police Permits are issued each year.
