The Cache County Fire Protection District Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet at 5:00 p.m. on Oct. 20, 2026, at the Cache County Historic Courthouse. The meeting agenda includes a statement regarding an intent to increase property taxes and several resolutions for public hearing.
According to an agenda posted by the district, the Board of Trustees intends to levy a tax rate that exceeds the certified tax rate. The proposed $4,200,000 property tax increase, representing a 100% increase for 2027, is intended to fund fire protection and emergency medical services (EMS) and to allocate those costs throughout the district.
The meeting will include a public hearing at 5:30 p.m. regarding Resolution 2026-05. This resolution recommends the creation of an Appointed Board Division to establish geographical divisions for appointing eleven trustees. Under this proposal, one trustee would represent the entire district, one for the South CCFPD, and one for the North CCFPD. Additionally, six trustees would represent the largest cities—Smithfield, Hyde Park, North Logan, Providence, Nibley, and Hyrum—while one trustee would represent small cities and unincorporated areas in the South CCFPD, and one for the small cities and unincorporated areas in the North CCFPD.
Another public hearing is scheduled to address Resolution 2026-04, which proposes changing the organization's name by removing the word County. If adopted, the entity would henceforth be known as the Cache Fire Protection District (CFPD). The board will also consider ratifying Resolution 2026-01, which concerns adjusting the boundaries of the Cache and Weber Fire Protection Districts.
A public hearing regarding the property tax increase is set for Nov. 16, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in the Cache County Chambers Room located at 199 N. Main St. in Logan. Individuals requiring special accommodations for the Oct. 20 meeting may notify Janeen Allen at 755-1850 at least three working days prior to the meeting.
