I'm from IL and, let's face it, we can't make a move here without being licensed and taxed. I pay a fee every year to the local Police Department, just because I have a monitored (not by them) security system for my home. After all, they "might" have to come out some day if I get broken into. The logic here escapes me. (Sorry for the venting) Anyway, I would definitely check with the State and your local government who also may have fees and inspection rules.
