Lane Fire Authority, Oregon Five-Year Local Option Levy for General Operations
Question: Shall the District impose $0.50 per $1000 of assessed value for general operations for five years beginning 2021-2022? This measure may cause property taxes to increase more than three percent.
If passed, the District, which is based in Veneta, will use the tax revenue to hire three full-time firefighter/medics. This increase in staffing will help to ensure faster response times, better coverage, and reduce wait times. In addition, the tax revenue will help to fund general operational expenses such as replacing and repairing fire apparatus, many of which are past their expected service life.
