What are Fire Dues?

Palmerdale is a Fire District covering multiple municipalities and unincorporated areas so there is no special tax collected through property taxes for public safety. Therefore, our funding comes through Fire Dues which are charged annually to all property owners in our District. Fire Dues are calculated based on the Jefferson County Tax Assessor’s value of property. Invoices are sent out each year in October and cover a period covering November 1 to October 31 of the following year. (ex. 2023 Fire Dues covering 11/01/2022 to 10/31/2023 will be mailed in October 2022.) Fire Dues are delinquent if they are not paid in full by February 28th. Accounts not paid in full by the delinquent date are sent a Second Notice with a $20 re-billing fee added and given until May 31 to pay in full. If not paid in full by the second deadline, balances are subject to being turned over to the Jefferson County Tax Collector for collection on the following property tax bill or sent to our attorney for collection.
