There seems to be some confusion over what parcels are in the LMRFD, and who pays taxes to the LMRFD. Everyone pays a tax to the Fire District Assistance Fund, usually between $2.00 and $10 a year. Many people think because it says "Fire District" Assistance Fund, in means they're in the fire district, many are not.
Use the Mohave County Assessor's Office web page, on the left you'll see a link to your Current Tax Bill. Look for Lake Mohave Ranchos FD on your tax bill. If it doesn't say "Lake Mohave Ranchos FD" you're not in the fire district.
I pay $178.78 or 22.65% of my property taxes to the LMRFD. I only pay $108.35 or 13.73% of my property taxes to Mohave County.
Please check and see if you are in the LMRFD. I talk to people every week who think they're in the LMRFD, only to find they're not. This includes some parcels only blocks from the Meadview fire station.
Don't wait until the election in May, only to find you don't receive a ballot because you're not in the fire district.
