Budget Planning

The district proposed an EMS tax rate of $0.4000 per $100 of assessed valuation for budget year 2027. The notice projects $790,654 in EMS revenue, and the rate remains subject to revision before final adoption. This is a forward-looking funding signal for emergency medical services operations and related service planning. The next buying conversation would be around how the district intends to use that EMS funding once the levy is finalized.
