The Unanswered Negative Impacts of Property Tax Cuts on Fire Districts in Colorado

FIRE CHIEF YORK SPEAKS TO THE IMPACTS OF CONTINUED PROPERTY TAX REDUCTIONS ON COLORADO FIRE DISTRICTS

(Link to Video) We thank our media partners (KOAA, KKTV, and KRDO) for sharing our message about the impacts of continued property tax reductions on Colorado Fire Districts.  We understand time constraints during a newscast prevent airing the entire message, so for our community we will be posting compilations of Chief York's responses from recent interviews.

In this August 26, 2024 interview, Chief York speaks to continued and proposed property tax reductions made through recent legislation, explains the difference in funding between municipal fire departments and fire districts, the impact of property tax cuts on fire district budgets and services, and the potential impact on homeowner's insurance as a result of impactful budget cuts.  (closed caption available in video)
