Fire Protection District 17
When a loved one is experiencing a health crisis, no one should have to worry about whether or not their local emergency services have the facilities and equipment needed to help. Fire Protection District 17 Proposition 15 authorizes a property tax levy to continue critical funding for the district’s fire protection and other emergency services.
The district – which serves residents of Sandy Point Shores, Sandy Point Heights, Neptune Heights, Neptune Beach, and some parts of the Lummi Indian Reservation – suffered severe damage from flooding in 2022. The fire district board determined that a levy is needed to ensure sufficient funding for damage repairs and emergency services, and approved the proposition to appear on April ballots.
At a rate of $1.25 per $1,000 in assessed property value, the levy would cost the owner of a $380,000 home about $475 a year. If passed, the levy provides funding to relocate and rebuild the damaged fire station while continuing quality services that include costs for staffing, training, equipment, and vehicles.
Vote Yes on Fire Protection District 17 Proposition 15 to continue providing critical emergency services to the community.
