Creates provisions relating to fire protection services to annexed areas in certain counties
This bill ensures that fire protection districts continue to serve areas annexed by cities in specific counties, provided the city pays an annual fee equal to what the district would have collected in taxes from that land. The fee is calculated based on the property's assessed value and the district's current tax rate, while the annexed area is exempt from future district taxes except for debts incurred before the annexation. Additionally, residents in these newly annexed areas gain the right to vote in fire protection elections and run for board positions.
