THIS IS THE PART OF THE PICTURE THE OP AND THE OTHER NAYSAYERS HAVE CONTINIOUSLY NEGLECTED TO MENTION AND DON'T WANT YOU TO HEAR. YOUR PROPERTY TAX WILL DECREASE. Yes, there will be a new fire assessment MSTU that will replace some or all of the decrease depending on your property value.

The projected 2023-2024 budget as of July has been published. While both the VPSD and the SCFD expenses have been removed, the millage HAS NOT been reduced in an equal amount. $28M of fire protection has been removed but only $14M of millage has been removed.
This is only a projected budget and will not be finalized for another 12 months or so. Things may change but what has been published so far does not look that good.
