Fire district proposes new property tax of $105.21 a year on a $545,000 home

LOGAN - The Cache County Fire Protection District proposes a new property tax of $105.21 a year on a $545,000 home, according to its notice of proposed tax increase. If the budget is approved, it would raise $4.2 million a year. A public hearing is 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16.

A $545,000 business would pay $191.30. The district's October agenda says the tax would fund fire and emergency medical services.

The district excludes Logan City. In May, the County Council voted 7-0 for Ordinance 2026-23, creating a separate fire levy inside district borders and moving $3,909,370 in fire spending out of the general fund, minutes show.

A second notice shows the Cache County Fire Fund tax, $98.02 a year on a $545,000 home and $178.22 on a business, dropping to zero. The notices don't say whether the same properties pay both.

Why this matters

The hearing at 199 N. Main, in person or online, is where the public can comment and the district will explain the increase, the notice says. Virtual instructions post on its tax increase page at least 24 hours ahead.
