ABSTRACT
The Murrieta Fire District collects an annual Fire Suppression Assessment Fee and Standby or Availability Charge to help pay for fire protection services. The proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 Resolution continues the existing assessment previously approved by the Murrieta voters and adopted annually by the Board of Directors. Approval of the Resolution and Proposition 218 Compliance Letter will allow the assessment to be placed on the Fiscal Year 2026/27 property tax roll. The assessment is expected to generate approximately $1.62 million for Fiscal Year 2026/27 to support Fire District operations.
