§ 54-82. Applicability of division.

(a)

This division shall be applicable throughout the unincorporated area of the county.

(b)

The lien and assessments due for fire protection for all periods prior to that period beginning October 1, 1993, shall remain in full force and effect.

(c)

Nothing contained in this division shall be construed to require the imposition of fire protection assessments against property in public ownership or property the board otherwise finds not to receive a special benefit from the provision of fire protection services or facilities. However, in the instance when an assessment is not imposed against property in public ownership, the board shall identify and fund the cost of fire protection services and facilities for such property in public ownership through a source of funds other than the fire protection assessment.
