Below is the 2026 Fire District budget and a current budget status report from the end of August 2026.

When reviewing the budget, a important factor is the need to have about $1,000,000 - $1,200,000 left in our operational budget at the end of the year.  If you were to look at revenues and expendatures, you will see a projected $1,144,484  in more revenue than expendatures in the 2026 budget.  This is becuase the fire district must have funds in our account at the end of the year in order to pay expenses going into the new year.

The bulk of our revenue comes twice a year when 1st and 2nd half payments of taxes are due in April and October.  So funding we recieve in October/November must sustain our operations until the following April/May.  This is why there needs to be enough funds in our account at the end of the year to "roll-over" to the next year (shown as a begining fund balance) and pay our expenses until the next April/May when the majority of our 1st half taxes arrive.
