All of our Fire Fighters are unpaid volunteers who graciously volunteer their time to keep this organization functioning safely and with the best coverage they can provide.
Until the end of 2025, Robie Creek fire district remains a subscription-funded fire district. Funding from annual property taxes will not be received from taxpayers until 2026. The board has approved a pro-rated subscription amount since your subscription will pay from March 31, 2025 until December 31, 2025, at which time the new FPD tax levy will take effect. Therefore, during 2025, the subscription will be $100 (instead of the previous$140).
RCVFD very much needs members to pay the $100 subscription to ensure sufficient funding to get us through 2025.
Subscriptions pay for things like:
Station maintenance & utility fees
Vehicle fuel, maintenance, upgrading equipment, and annual inspections
Equipment maintenance & inspections
Training materials
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
When you pay your subscription each year, it puts you in good standing. Beyond feeling good for supporting your local fire department, a member in good standing gets the following benefits:
Ability to vote on measures presented by the Board. (This normally happens during our annual meeting)
We won't send you a bill if we end up on your property! Yes, the Fire Department is authorized by the state to issue an invoice to you and your insurance company to cover the costs of responding to an incident at your property.
Subscriptions cover all connected property. No increase in the subscription for 2025, and it will be prorated for a partial year, so your subscription dues will be $100 per contiguous property.
The county does not indicate when properties are connected. If your invoice indicates more than one billed property and it should be combined with a connecting property, please mail the amount for all of your connected properties combined. You may include a note saying "contiguous" to let us know you are paying for multiple connected parcels.
You can pay your subscription by either mailing in your payment or paying through Quickbooks using the instructions below. If you would rather mail in your payment, please ensure you include the reference number from your subscription (or your parcel number if you don't have the reference number).
