WEST PIERCE FIRE & RESCUE
PROPOSITION 1
About West Pierce Prop. 1
West Pierce Fire & Rescue Proposition 1 replaces the current Maintenance & Operations (M&O) Levy with a fee based system ca Fire Benefit Charge (FBC).
Where the M&O levy-based system relied solely on a property's assessed valuation, an FBC is a fee-based system, that only takes into account a property's fire risk factors and the square-footage of structures on the property.
Why you should support West Pierce Prop 1.
Current taxing methods unfairly burden residential homeowners. Property taxes are not the only way to fund a fire department. A Fire Benefit Charge (FBC) is an equitably and more objective way to fund West Pierce Fire & Rescue based on the size of a building and how it is used, rather than its assessed value.
The value of someone's property has nothing to do with what it takes to protect their property during a fire. Some of the largest commercial businesses in the community pay less to the fire department than many homeowners. It is time to level the playing field and reduce the property taxes homeowners are paying.
Adequately funding the fire department is vital to maintaining a vibrant community. By utilizing an FBC, property taxes will be decreased, and long-term stability of the fire department will be increased.
An FBC will lower property taxes. Vote yes and reduce property taxes!
