At the time of filing the application, a fee as fixed from time to time by the council shall be paid to the town collector of revenue to cover the cost of issuing and maintaining the permit. No fee will be charged for any permit issued for an alarm system existing on the date of the adoption of the ordinance from which this article is derived if the permit is obtained prior to March 1, 2008.

Upon application for renewal, the town collector shall issue the applicant a renewal permit covering the period of the new year.
