Like most communities, the Village of Spring Grove has
ordinances that cover alarm systems and false alarms.
Here are some things to remember. First, with only a
couple of exceptions, the village does not allow any
automatic dialing devices directly to the Police or Fire
Department. Second, the alarm shall not make a sound
similar to that of sirens on emergency vehicles or of
civil defense warning systems. Lastly, residential and
business alarm users are allowed only three (3) false
alarms in a fiscal year, May 1st through April 30th. If
you exceed the maximum false alarms in a year, there
will be a fee of $150 per false alarm.
If you have an alarm, please stop by the Police
Department and fill out an emergency alarm registration
form or click the
