The residents of Forsyth will be asked to approve the continuation of the current fire protection tax on the April ballot.

Forsyth Fire Chief Nathan Bower said the Forsyth Fire Tax will be on the ballot in April for renewal before its sunset clause is enacted. The issue on the ballot will only be asking residents to continue the current tax, no new tax will be added.

“The Forsyth Fire Department fire protection tax is a renewal of the current tax that has a sunset clause at 10 years if not renewed by the city of Forsyth community,” Bower said. “The tax is broken down into operations and capital project purchases and is 1/4 of 1% - (0.25%).”
