But in any case, the ambulance service near me is vastly improved since the change and well worth an extra dollar day.
The previous/current fee is $124. This will probably be increased to $125. This fee was assessed to rooftops or sometimes consolidated properties. The lofts at Brownwood may have been assessed $620 for five buildings or possibly only $124 for one property. I believe Grand Traverse plaza also was assessed $124 total.

The new fee would have increased from $124 to $323.63 for residential properties but also had a new structure for commercial properties. Some, like apartment buildings, would have been assessed $323.63 per apartment while others would be assessed some amount (I don't remember exactly what) per square foot. Both the lofts and Grand Traverse plaza would have paid significantly more under this structure.

But none of that matters now. The fee will likely be $125 for you, me, the plaza, and the lofts.
