The currently approved rate for institutional properties has been set at .28. In past budget years, the County, through Board of County Commissioner action, paid the fire assessment on behalf of non-profit institutional properties. This is commonly referred to as “buying down” a classification. On September 8, 2009 the Board of County Commissioners approved buying down the institutional tax-exempt (non-profit) properties.
