The Story

St. Petersburg city officials are investigating the implementation of a new fire assessment fee to compensate for a projected $54 million budget shortfall. This potential fee is being considered in response to a proposed Florida property tax amendment appearing on the November ballot, which could significantly reduce city tax revenue if approved by 60% of voters.
