Eligible POAs are reimbursed at a rate of $20.00 per address point (residence, community park, community building, etc.) of a neighborhood within the city limits. The POA is reimbursed for up to 50% of the ALPR system cost, including installation, annual service for up to 12 months and ancillary costs such as permits related directly to the installation, with total payment from the City to the POA not to exceed $20,000.00.

The procurement, installation, maintenance, and other costs for an ALPR system are to be paid by the eligible POA directly to the ALPR service provider. It is the POA’s responsibility to choose an ALPR camera system that meets the eligibility requirements. However, the POA can seek advice from a designated Pearland PD representative for systems which meet the criteria. A POA with an existing ALPR system may submit an application for a grant to defray costs of improvements, maintenance, or data service to cover up to 12 months from an application for a grant. It is the POA’s responsibility to ensure the placement of ALPR cameras are in a legal location and to obtain any permits which may be necessary for installation. For questions regarding ALPR camera placement and permitting, contact Public Works at 1900@pearlandtx.gov. 

AFTER an eligible ALPR system has been installed, a representative for the POA will complete the Grant Application and provide proof of payment via the Pearland Police Department website. Accepted proofs of payment include: a paid invoice from the ALPR company, a copy of the cleared check from the bank, or a credit card statement page showing the transaction (with all other information redacted). A designated Police Department representative will coordinate with the POA representative to ensure the ALPR is functional and able to provide data to the Pearland Police Department and then sign off on the eligibility for the grant. 

Following PD approval of a completed application, the Pearland PD representative will forward the Grant Application and supporting documents through the appropriate channels. The City of Pearland Finance Department will issue a check directly to the POA representative. Please note, if a Grant Application is approved, check distribution normally takes four to six (4-6) weeks.
