Correct. I called the police today and inquired. The person who answered the phone said there was no permit required. I also contacted my insurance agent and asked what my insurance discount would be if I got a theft/fire alarm system and he said it "was around 10%". Depending on what you pay for insurance, the discount could subsidize much of the monthly monitoring fees.
