How are my property taxes calculated for fire protection?

The City of Pembroke Pines utilizes a fire assessment fee, which is collected via the county’s tax collector to fund the fire protection service portion of the Fire Department budget. The fee is currently $312.32 per residential unit, and a rate table is utilized for commercial, industrial, and institutional occupancies based on various ranges of square feet. This rate is set annually by the City Commission during the budget planning process.
