§ 20-29. Revocation of registration permit.

Annual registration permits issued in accordance with this article may be revoked for any violation of this article and for the failure to pay a fee or fine rendered in accordance with this chapter or for failure to pay a fine or fee rendered in the Pearland Municipal Court of Record for a violation of this article.

Registration permits for fire alarms issued in accordance with this article may be revoked by the fire chief and registration permits for all other alarms issued in accordance with this article may be revoked by the chief of police.

Not less than ten (10) business days before such revocation, the person who applied for the alarm registration permit that is being revoked shall be given written notice and have an opportunity to be heard before the person who is revoking such permit, or that person's designee. If the person whose alarm registration permit is being revoked desires a hearing on whether such revocation is warranted, they must deliver in writing within ten (10) business days after notice of the revocation has been delivered a request for hearing stating the reasons for appealing the revocation of the alarm registration permit. Upon receipt of the written notice of appeal, the person responsible for hearing the appeal shall schedule a hearing within fifteen (15) business days wherein he or she shall make a decision on the basis of the preponderance of evidence presented at the hearing and determine whether the alarm registration permit shall be revoked.
