Enhanced Fire-Rescue/Emergency Medical Services - Fire Services Fee
September 30
The Tallahassee City Commission and Leon County Board of County Commissioners have approved a new inter-local agreement that will provide Tallahassee-Leon County residents with enhanced fire-rescue and emergency medical services. The agreement will add a total of 18 new firefighters at five rural fire stations in unincorporated Leon County and will enhance response times in the city.
To support these critical public services, residents who live in the unincorporated area of Leon County (non city residents) will begin paying a fire services fee beginning October 1. To determine the amount of the fee being implemented by Leon County for unincorporated county residents, visit the County website at www.leoncountyfl.gov. Within the city limits, there will be a slight increase in the fee for fire services (the first increase in four years). The increase ranges from 41 cents to $1.91 a month for a single family household. The amount of the fee increase is based upon the location of your home in proximity to existing Tallahassee Fire Department stations. It is included as a detailed charge on the City's utility bill.
