What is the maximum fine that can be assessed for a cited violation?

• A. 2,500 dollars
• B. 1,000 dollars
• C. 5,000 dollars
• D. 10,000 dollars

Answer: (A)

The penalty structure for alarm licensing violations is defined per individual cited violation. For a single cited violation, the maximum civil penalty is 2,500 dollars. This means one citation cannot exceed 2,500, even if there are multiple issues mentioned, as long as they’re counted as one violation. If there are separate, distinct violations, each could carry its own 2,500 limit, potentially increasing the total penalties. The other dollar amounts are not applicable to a standard cited violation because they exceed the per-violation cap.
