Paris, Tenn.–Brandon Bell and John Roaten of the Paris Fire Department assisted the City of Paris Finance Office Thursday in preparing the letters to property owners in the ESN122 area of Henry County.
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 by 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 Department. 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. A copy of the municipal code can be picked up at the business office at City Hall which will detail the breakdown of the fees.
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 731-641-1402.
