fire protection service districts

Prior to FY2013, the County provided individual subsidies or contracts
to 15 volunteer or
municipal fire departments operating within Mecklenburg County. They
were responsible for
providing fire services to residents in some of the towns and
unincorporated areas. This
subsidy cost $2.5 million in FY2012.

Starting in FY2013, the County, under the authority of NCGS 153A-301
et seq., levied a fire
protection service district tax to pay for fire services in the towns
and unincorporated areas.
A total of five Fire Protection Service Districts (FPSD's) were
created to serve the ETJs in the
county. The ETJs include geography outside the four towns of
Cornelius, Davidson,
Huntersville, and Mint Hill and the City of Charlotte.

These districts were created to fund the cost of providing fire
protection services to all
residents in the service district, with the cost burden carried by all
service district property
owners, through the fire protection service district tax. The County
uses the funds raised by
the Fire Protection Service District tax to contract with the City of
Charlotte, or the towns, or
in some instances, directly with the Volunteer Fire Department(s), to
provide fire protection
services for that area.
