Renton residents regarding their annual fire service charge.
Chief Marshall stated that the RRFA is required by law to notify residents of the 2017 Fire
Service Charge which includes a fire benefit charge. He clarified that the fire service charge
consists of a$1.00 per$1,000 dollars of assessed valuation assessment and a fire benefit
charge assessed on all buildings that are 400 square feet and larger. He added that the RRFA
has been up front about the additional cost to homeowners from the beginning of the
process, and noted that residents will receive enhanced services from the RRFA including
decreased response times,and a newly constructed, equipped, and staffed fire station in the
Kennydale neighborhood.
Ms. Hawn added that the City reduced its property tax collection by the same rate of$1.00
per$1,000 dollars of assessed valuation.She noted that residents can find additional
