EAST COUNTY FIRE & RESCUE

Tax Rate Comparison

 

 
  2006 2007
Fire Tax (mid-tax-year post-merger estimate for 2006) $1.16  $0.91
EMS Levy $0.25  $0.00
Your Tax Rate  $1.41 $0.91

 

Tax Rates are “per $1,000 of Assessed Property Value”. 

Property Value is set by the Clark County Assessors Office.

 

Although assessed values can ‘jump’ a large amount in any one year,

The Fire District’s tax rate can increase a maximum of ONLY 1% each year.

 

The District’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Levy expired 12/31/2006.

(Voters turned down the EMS Levy at the Primary and General Elections in 2006).

Thus, there are NO taxes levied by ECF&R for delivery of Emergency Medical Services—instead, East County Fire & Rescue must now charge individuals—to recoup costs—for EMS incidents.
