Paris, Tenn.–Property owners within the ESN122 area of Henry County should expect to receive their annual fire protection subscription billing from the City of Paris. The notices will be mailed on Thursday, August 31st. Payment is due by September 30th.
Fires in the ESN122 district, which is just outside the Paris city limits, are covered by the Paris Fire Dept. Unlike city property owners who pay city taxes, property owners in ESN122 pay no taxes for this service. Annual fees have been established for residents in the ESN122 district based upon their appraised property values. The amount charged for fire service is based on information from the Henry County Assessor of Property and from the State of TN Division of Property Assessments.
The billing amount will strictly follow the city ordinance as adopted in 2008. A copy of the municipal code will be included with the billing or a copy can be picked up at the business office at City Hall.
Property owners inside ESN122 who fail to get a notice from the city or who get a notice and no longer own the property, are asked to contact the City of Paris business office at City Hall on 100 N. Caldwell St. or call 641-1402.
