Paramedic Tax
Show All Answers
1.
Why is the tax more than last year?
Voters approved increasing the City's special paramedic tax by the amount of each April's Consumer Price Index (CPI). Last year, the tax was set at $14.88. With the rise in this year's CPI, the tax increased to $15.00 per benefit unit, the maximum amount allowed in the original voter-approved measure. The tax will not increase beyond $15.00 per benefit unit unless approved by voters.
2.
What is the CSA Paramedic tax?
This is a tax for the countywide emergency medical services system, such as trauma centers and the Alameda County Emergency Medical Services District. Questions about this tax should be referred to the Alameda County EMS Agency at (510) 618-2055.
3.
When I dial 9-1-1, who comes to my home?
Fire Department firefighter paramedics are the first responders to your home when you call 9-1-1. Since fire stations are located in neighborhoods throughout the City, the firefighter paramedics can reach your home quickly. The Fire Department will also notify the local ambulance company, so if you need to go to the hospital, an ambulance will be there for you.
4.
Do I get a bill for the Fire Department paramedic services?
No. Fire Department paramedic services are not billed to the user. You may receive a bill from the ambulance company if you access ambulance services.
