Briceland Fire Protection District
Notice of Public Hearing
The Briceland Fire Protection District will host a public meeting on Monday July 27, 2026 from 5:30 to 6:30 pm at the Briceland Fire Station, 6155 Briceland-Thorn Road, Briceland. The purpose of the meeting is to answer the District residents’ questions regarding a parcel tax increase due to rising costs.
The parcel tax which was approved by 85% of the District voters in August 2012 included pre-approval of an annual cost of living increase tied to the Consumer Price Index, but no greater than 5% per year.
The District proposes to increase the tax by 3.6% in Fiscal Year 2026-2027, from $104.46 to $108.22. This increase is based on the rate of inflation at the end of the fiscal year as determined by the California State Department of Finance.
