Good points, but think about insuring replacement costs plus the land value on Lake homes and it get pricey very quickly. On another note,  it's pretty much a given in our area that if one's house catches fire it will almost to a certainty burn to total loss. We should push for a couple to wide paid fire Dept to protect our investments. The AC city Dept budget and all the of the volunteer depts would be a big start to total funding. I know I would pay an extra mill or two on property taxes if it was earmarked for fire protection.  The current volunteer equipment and station could be utilized with some upgrades. The insurance savings we would receive would offset the increase in taxes.
