The Town Crier now has obtained the actual number of taxable parcels within each of Idyllwild Fire Protection District\u2019s 21 tax rate areas, so we now can calculate the average percentage for each taxable parcel within the district.<\/p>\n
For parcels within IFPD, an average of 15.56 percent of the property tax goes to fire protection, compared with about 6 percent for parcels in Pine Cove, Mountain Center and Zone 3.<\/p>\n

Those parcels within IFPD also pay IFPD\u2019s separate \u201cparcel fee tax\u201d of $65 for improved properties and $32.50 for vacant parcels. Parcel fees for both improved and vacant properties within IFPD will increase to $130 should Measure W pass this week.<\/p>\n
