The purpose of this article is to ease the Village Fire Department's
burden on the Village's taxpayers by attempting to recover costs
associated with providing services to tax-exempt properties and or
entities, corporations, negligent parties, and insurance providers;
provided, however, that the Village Board retains the authority to
waive any fire service fees upon submission of an appropriate application
of an owner showing a hardship.
The fees provided under this article shall be based, in part,
on the costs of providing these services, whether the services are
provided to a resident, nonresident or business entity and whether
the resident or business resides on or operates from a tax exempt
parcel of real estate located within the Village. The fee shall be
in an amount as established from time to time by the Village Board
by resolution. A schedule of the current fees shall be published by
the Village Board and available at the office of the Village Clerk-Treasurer.
