In many rural areas; it's not even a for pay job;
It's volunteer outside most major cities; in Alabama and Georgia. It's not even part of sales or property taxes here; the volunteer fire department (with no employees, much less a paid head of marketing or collections) has to market to the community.
- supertrope 3y agoIn Arizona there are fire subscriptions offered by fire departments to property owners adjacent to but outside their jurisdiction. Voters had rejected a tax. In one are of Tennessee they would rescue people but let structures burn if they did not subscribe. This was an unpopular policy and they now bill non-subscribers for fire service. Of course people who had their house catch on fire may not be the best financial status and any lien the FD gets will be on some ruins. https://www.nwtntoday.com/2012/02/17/fire-response-policy-in-south-fulton-sparks-new-ordinance/ https://www.nwtntoday.com/2012/02/17/fire-response-policy-in...
