<br /> Fire protection in the unincorporated areas of Orange County is provided in twelve tax
<br /> supported fire districts. In most districts, fire services are provided under contract with various
<br /> incorporated volunteer fire departments. In two cases, service is provided to district residents
<br /> under agreements with municipal fire departments. In addition to fire protection, many of these
<br /> departments provide first responder and early defibrillation .services to medical emergencies
<br /> within their district. Coordination of these services is provided by Orange County Emergency
<br /> Management Services.
<br /> It is estimated that there are at least 350 firefighters and first responders contributing more than
<br /> 40,000 training and service hours in Grange County.
<br /> The County has recently completed its four-year Revaluation process. This revaluation is
<br /> intended to be "revenue neutral", meaning that it has no impact on the amount of revenue
<br /> received by the fire districts. In other words, the Current tax rate will be adjusted downward to
<br /> offset the increase in property valuation for each district. This adjustment for revaluation
<br /> determines each district's "effective tax rate".
<br /> Cedar Greve Fire District $171,674
<br /> The tax rate for this district is recommended to remain at the effective tax rate of 6.36 cents
<br /> for FY 2009-10.
<br /> Chapel Hill Fire District $894
<br /> p
<br /> Protection for the six homes located in this district is provided by the Town of Chapel Hill
<br /> Fire Department.
