Fire Assessment Bill

The City of Cape Coral has mailed the bills for the City's fire service assessment to 136,000 property owners.  The bills will be payable 30 days from receipt of the bill. If you are wondering what this is: The Fire Services Assessment is part of the city’s approach to obtaining an additional $20 million for capital improvements and infrastructure costs, as well as diversifying its revenue streams to wean off its financial dependency on ad valorem taxes. In other words the city needs the money to repave roads and replace equipment ignored for years after the recession. First estimated to be  $150.00, your bill should read something in the vicinity of  $90.00. If it's much less don't feel left out, I'll send you a portion of mine to make up the difference.
