• Proposed fire fee could help Orange City offset future property tax revenue losses (wesh.com) — Orange City leaders are weighing a new $150-per-year fire assessment fee on property owners that could help fund a badly needed fire station and cushion expected property tax losses after November’s statewide vote. Commissioners narrowly advanced the idea for more discussion, while the mayor warned residents are already strained by recent stormwater fees and a higher millage rate. A final vote could come later this summer.
