Alarm Registration and Renewals Due By December 31

Individuals and businesses are required to register their burglar and fire alarm systems. This annual registration allows the police and fire departments to keep more up-to-date records on alarm holders and important keyholder information. The fee is $35 for fire alarm systems and $35 for police alarm systems (panic, burglary, duress, medical, holdup). New to Hopkins? Need to renew your alarm system registration? Fill out the online Alarm User Permit form or call City Hall at 952-548-6300 for a paper copy of the application. Permits are required to be renewed annually before December 31. Find more information about alarm registration.

Buy a Brick This Holiday Season

Leave a lasting impression in Clock Tower Plaza with a commemorative brick! The “Buy a Brick” program gives you an opportunity to be a special part of Hopkins history. Individuals, families, businesses, and organizations can purchase bricks with their names imprinted that will be placed in the Plaza at the southwest corner of 9th and Mainstreet. Bricks are a great gift idea for family and friends, and are a special way to recognize your Hopkins heritage. Special symbols are available too, so you can personalize a brick for someone based on their interests or hobbies (ex: soccer player, military, etc.). Learn more and purchase a brick online.
