Budget Highlights: The FY 25-26 Adopted Budget is increasing by $4,898,985, or 6.4%.

The FY 25-26 budget includes the following cost of business increases: $204,600 for supplemental fire protection contracts, $125,000 for vehicle maintenance, and $75,000 to supplement the NC Firefighters and Rescue Squad Workers Pension Fund. The FY 25-26 budget includes $3.6 million towards financing installment payments for 12 new fire engines over the next several years. This is a reduction of $700,000 from the projected FY 25-26 budget due to a cost saving measure to delay the purchase of a replacement ladder truck. Pending approval by the Guilford County Board of Commissioners, the FY 25-26 budget includes the following fire district tax rate increases: Guilford College PFSD from 15 to 16 cents, PTIA from 4.95 to 16 cents, and Fire District 14 from 9.82 to 12 cents. The rate increases are projected to provide a $66,000 increase in revenue.
