*Municipal fire
departments, such as Cottonwood, were not included. They are operated by a
city or town, so they do not have their own tax rate.
*To help off-set
the Fire District Tax, and because the Town no longer funds the fire department,
the Town of Clarkdale reduced its tax rate
from 1.12
to .71

Vehicle Inventory
The service life of apparatus (vehicles) is based largely on time in use, rather
than mileage only. Even though
emergency vehicles may not accumulate many miles, their components (motors,
drive train, fire pump, etc.)
operate for lengthy periods of time while parked at emergency scenes.
