The South Arkansas Fire Protection District Board has certified the 2024 mill levy at 4.519 mills. This rate is notably lower than the average mill levy for fire protection districts in Colorado, which often ranges between 7 and 14 mills.

While this low mill levy reflects the board's commitment to fiscal responsibility, it impacts the district's ability to improve essential services adequately. The board will continue to assess financial strategies to ensure the community receives effective fire protection and emergency services.
