New Utah Law Changes Emergency Services Funding
A new Utah bill alters the funding of emergency services statewide, affecting what homeowners, residents, and visitors pay for these services.
Under Senate Bill 1005, cities and counties can utilize a local sales tax to fund emergency medical and fire services, replacing a system heavily reliant on property taxes.
- Municipalities in the Hurricane Valley Fire Special Service District may be among the first to implement this bill.
Mayor Bill Hoster of Leeds, chair of the Hurricane Valley Fire Special Service District, noted that this shift could reduce property taxes for homeowners while expanding support for fire and EMS.
