This is what I understand:

Taxes are deductible, Fee’s which this is, are not deductible.

On your bill it is “Fire Prevention FEE”

Confirm with your accountant.

…I add the fire tax fee to my other deductions too…

jr, at the risk the IRS reading this forum, I write off my fire fee, it’s a property tax no matter how it got passed.

I can only hope that some of the tax is actually going to fire prevention.

Tack it onto PG&E’s bill for the Butte Fire.

Yes, I received the first of 3 fire tax notices yesterday, as well. So now, on top of income taxes, 3 property taxes, 3 fire taxes, and a host of other annual payments due in April, it’s going to be tight. Does anyone write theirs off for income tax purposes? Just wondering.

We didn’t have a fire all winter…
The fire prevention fee seems to be working.

I’m still not sure what benefit we get from this. It seems perhaps this provides a lot of administration salaries and not much tangible result in the field.

Just got my notice – $117.33. Yowch!
