I got a letter on Friday stating that if I did not pay yearly dues to the Paces Point "Volunteer" Fire Department, that a lien would be placed on my property! First I thought the Fire Department was Volunteer! Second I have not received any information on the department prior to the notification letter!

What a way to drum up support. Does anyone know if there is a legal document that states you HAVE to pay yearly dues to this organization?

Does the organization have by laws and do they have independent audits of their finances as per the new federal laws? Sarbanes & Oxley?

What about insurance? I was in a Home Owners Association one time and I served as a board member. I resigned however after I found out that because I was in the Home Owner's Association that if anything happened in the area I could be sued as a member of the home owners association as well as be sued because I was a board member.

What happens if I pay my money and Paces' Point responds to a car accident and while removing the driver they paralize him. Since I am a member of the organization based on paying yearly dues I could be sued along with the Paces Point FD!

None of this was covered just a nasty letter with a bill. Send us money or else!

This is the reason I was in the military and fought against this type of action. This IS Taxation without representation! Until I am sure that I can't be held liable for the actions of the department should I give them money. Who is the department legal reps? Do they have liability insurance for the department and the members.

For anyone who blindly pays this bill you are opening yourself up to liability I think. With the growing area it is just a matter of time before someone sues because of an emergency action or non action.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to go for the legal document that says I must pay this TAX, please post.
