I am going to install a security system soon and a friend of mine who does this professionally in another state said I need to find out from my township or county on the requirement or permitting before I activate the system. I searched on my township site as well as Monroe County and I cannot find anything under any documents or permitting regarding alarm or security systems.

Is this something we have to do here in Monroe/Polk or even in PA. I spoke to my brother earlier who has recently put in a similar security system in his home in Maryland and he did have to do this in his township it was free and consists of address, and contact information, there was no fee for him. Just printed it, filled it out and sent it in.
