               Within 30 days after the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is
               derived, every alarm user shall obtain an alarm user permit for each alarm system
               he operates within the county from the office of the sheriff. This does not require
               that a licensed alarm system business obtain a permit under this article when it leases
               or provides services to alarm users. If a licensed alarm business does, however, use
               an alarm system to protect its own premises, it shall obtain a permit for such system
               as required in this article.
