Questions about Fire Taxes, here is a confusing one: Question: Why is it that I pay Arizona Fire District Assistant Tax (FDAT) when I live in the city? Answer: It is the common assumption of many residents that paying the FDAT (Fire District Assistance Tax) pays for your fire protection; however, it does not. The FDAT provides that you will receive rescue services anywhere in the State of Arizona on any highway, street or roadway. FDAT is shared by all fire districts in Arizona to assist with the response of emergencies to areas outside established fire district boundaries for rescue services only. In fact, every homeowner in the state pays the FDAT, to include city residents. (from http://www.fryfiredistrict.com/faqs/ ) Unless a citizen pays for fire coverage specifically, like to a city if they live in one, they have to pay for fire response in Arizona.
