In an effort to give back to Plymouth Township’s volunteer firefighters – and incentivize others to consider volunteering – the Plymouth Township Council recently adopted an ordinance providing property tax rebates to individuals serving the two local fire departments.
The ordinance, which was adopted in April, uses a points-based system to repay Harmonville Fire Co. No. 1 and Plymouth Fire Co. No. 1 volunteer firefighters, emergency medical services personnel, and administrative members between 10 percent and 100 percent of the previous year’s municipal real estate taxes. Plymouth Township property taxes paid in 2023 and subsequent years are eligible for rebate the following year, Township Manager Karen Weiss said.
