The portion of your overall tax bill that is used for fire protection should initially be less with the IFD. My fire protection costs will be less until the variable portion of the IFD funding hits about 0.6 mils.
Your overall tax bill is likely to increase. If this happens, it is not due to the IFD costs. If it happens it will be due to the BoCC not lowering millage to match the removal of the VPSD and SCFD - effectively a tax increase.

Exactly. Of course, tax increases will ultimately occur anyway, but this sounds like a convenient excuse.
Now here's a new question: Will the creation of the IFD create another administrative hierarchy duplicating costs?
