All- PPVFD collects $125/yr for a residence, $175/yr for a business, $25, $50, or $100 for vacant land based on acreage. Bills are sent out in late October and due by 12/31 each year. If payment is not received by the due date, reminder bills are sent. If payment is not received, the department ultimately turns over the collection process to an attorney. By statute, a property can be sold for non payment.
Volunteer fire departments are not funded by the state or the county. Fire trucks, tankers, rescue vehicles, and all the equipment required coss hundreds of thousands of dollars. None of the personnel at PPVFD are paid - they are all volunteers.
No one from PPVFD goes through yards and walks up to folks on docks to ask for money. I'm not sure who approached someone on this forum; however, we understand that a rescue squad has been making the rounds in several areas. These individuals are nt affiliated with PPVFD.
I am sorry that so many have received such a poor impression. I have been part of this fire department for many years and would be happy to answer questions about our procedures - please contact me at: toni@toniadcock.com
