In 1980, American Canyon voters approved Measure B, a special tax assessment established to support and maintain local fire protection services. Since that time, all property and mobile homeowners in American Canyon have contributed to this essential funding through an annual Fire Service Fee.
This fee plays a critical role in helping the American Canyon Fire Protection District deliver reliable, high-quality emergency services to the community.
