We need to support our fire district and help get this small increase in property tax to pass.
We need to support SB1108 so PLEASE Call Senator Sonny Borrelli at 602-926-5051or Email him HERE
This money could provide money for an additional firefighter in Meadview and training volunteers. You never think about fire protection or EMS until you need to call 911. It's time to think ahead and help pass SB1108.
Senate Bill 1108 State of Arizona Senate Fifty-fifth Legislature First Regular Session 2021
F. The board, based on the budget submitted by the district, shall 13 levy, in addition to any tax levied as provided in section 48-806, a tax 14 not to exceed $3.25 per $100 of assessed valuation THROUGH TAX YEAR 2021, 15 $3.375 PER $100 OF ASSESSED VALUATION FOR TAX YEAR 2022 AND $3.50 PER $100 16 OF ASSESSED VALUATION FOR TAX YEAR 2023 AND EACH TAX YEAR THEREAFTER, or 17 the amount of the levy in the preceding tax year multiplied by 1.08, 18 whichever levy is less, and minus any amounts required to reduce the levy 19 pursuant to subsection I of this section, against all property situated 20 within the district boundaries and appearing on the last assessment roll. 21 The levy shall be made and the taxes collected in the manner, at the time 22 and by the officers provided by law for the collection of general county 23 taxes.
Before worrying about that, we should be having areas such as Mead City and those serviced within the 2000 sq mile service area contribute to the taxes. Why should taxpayers in Dolan Springs and Meadview be the only people paying for fire service? Not only that, say they have to go out on a call to one of these areas within the 2000 sq mile service area and are not HERE to help with a fire or rescue because they're in an area being serviced for free -- AT OUR EXPENSE.
ReplyDeleteI say, either they consider helping pay some taxes towards it, or risk being less of a priority. I know that doesn't sound nice, but neither is it nice to get these services at our expense (financially OR not being available when someone who is paying the taxes needs help).
Small increase...assessed value of $6k equals $195 increase for 2021, then up to $203 for 2022 and $210 for 2023, etc....
