The Service Fee shall not be waived if the Owner, Alarm User or Responder fails to timely respond to the Alarm Site when requested by the Sheriffs Office. (7) All False Alarm Service Fees are due and payable within thirty calendar (30) days from date of invoice. If the False 7

8 Alarm Service Fees are not paid as required by this article, late Service Fees may be assessed and/or the matter may be referred to a collection agency or the County Attorney's Office for appropriate legal action. Sec Dual Response; Service Fee. If the False Alarm elicits a response from both the Sheriffs Office and the Orange County Fire Rescue Department, and such response would cause a service fee to be assessed under either the False Fire Alarm ordinance or this ordinance, only the service fee assessed by the Orange County Fire Rescue Department shall apply.
