Important things to know about your fire assessment:
☑️ The fire assessment is the District's primary source of revenue.
☑️ The Englewood Area Fire Control District receives no funds from county taxes

Unlike property taxes, non-ad valorem assessments are not based on the value of real and personal property in conjunction with millage rates, nor are they affected by the Homestead Exemption. Rather, a non-ad valorem assessment represents a charge for services based upon the estimated benefit received by each property. Costs associated with providing a service funded by non-ad valorem assessments must be fairly apportioned among benefiting properties.

Impact fees are one-time charges levied by local governments on new developments to help fund the infrastructure needed to support new growth. The concept behind impact fees is that while development can bring many benefits, it also affects infrastructure needs.

New development adds people, which means more traffic on roadways and increases the demand for Fire/EMS equipment and facilities. To accommodate this growth, additional capital investment is required.
