Ambulance District Levy 2025
If approved, the levy would increase property taxes by $18.62 per year for every $100,000 of home value. This would ensure better emergency services for our community.
The levy is needed due to:
-
Demand for ambulance services is rising.
-
Calls for service increased 20% in five years.
-
Current funding is not enough to keep up with community needs.
-
Without this levy, fewer ambulances will be available.
This levy will fund:
-
More paramedics & EMTs for a faster emergency response.
-
New ambulances & better equipment to improve service.
-
Upgraded stations in South Nampa & South Caldwell.
