SimpliSafe® Managed Permits
Updated
If you live in a municipality where SimpliSafe® manages permits, then there’s likely no further action needed on your part once you activate monitoring. If we do require additional information from you, our team will reach out to you from the email address permits@simplisafe.com. Please reply to this email as soon as you can so that we may continue the process of obtaining your permit.
Please note that in rare cases, SimpliSafe® may manage one permit but require you to apply for another. For example, we may manage the permit with your police department, but you’ll need to apply for one with the fire department. Each Police and Fire Department can decide to use their regulations or combine efforts.
If you are eligible for SimpliSafe® Managed Permits, our permits team will file the alarm permit on your behalf, and manage its renewals year after year – as long as you are subscribed to a monitoring plan. Should your municipality have a fee required for alarm permit applications, SimpliSafe® will pay the fee when filing for the permit, and bill it to you at a later date. You’ll receive an email from us once the payment is being processed.
Generally, it takes our Permit Team about 3 business days to complete the filing for your alarm permit. However, this timeframe can vary greatly depending on the response time of your municipality.
