CITY OF PARSONS
FIRE FEE COLLECTION PROGRAM
Our essential and excellent fire protection and emergency services in
Parsons are funded through our municipal fire service fee. The owner of
each protected structure in the City is required by law to pay this fee. The
revenues collected from this fee are dedicated funding for these critical
public services.
Most Parsons property owners support these services by paying the
required fire service fee. Unfortunately, some property owners have not
kept current on their fire fee account. Financing adequate emergency ser-
vices works only if everyone pays their share of these costs.
If you own property in Parsons, please check your records to ensure that
your fire fee account is current. If you are uncertain of your account status,
please call City Hall at 304-478-2311 to review your payment record.
If you have a delinquent fire fee account, please make payment to bring
the account current or make payment arrangements with the City Man-
ager to satisfy the delinquency. If a delinquent account is paid in full by
December 31, 2024, the City will waive any interest charges associated
with this late payment.
Please note that delinquent accounts as of January 1, 2025, will be
referred to the City Attorney for legal proceedings to collect this debt,
including collection of interest payments and any associated court costs.
Thanks for your kind consideration of this notice, and for your willing-
ness to share in the costs of public safety in Parsons.
