§ 6-27. Same—Fees.

There shall be no fee charged for a first response to premises or for a second or third response within six (6) months after the first response. After the third response a fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) per response shall be charged for each response that occurs within six (6) months of the previous response. Upon failure to pay any such fee within ten (10) days after the occurrence for which it is charged, the city shall have the authority to place a lien upon the property. Furthermore, should any false alarm fees remain unpaid, the city manager is authorized to withhold issuance of the city local business tax receipt until such time as all false alarm fees are paid. Withholding of the local business tax receipt in accordance with this section shall not negate any local business tax receipt penalty as required by Florida State Statutes.
