Rural residents to vote on emergency services

by | Oct 16, 2025 | Area news, Latest

Collin County residents who don’t live in cities will decide Nov. 4 whether their property should be taxed to pay for an emergency services district (ESD).

The Collin County Commissioners Court agreed in July to place a petition request on the general election ballot.

If approved by voters, ESD-1 would serve residents in up to 75.5 square miles of unincorporated land in the county.

Since 2013, the county has paid fire departments in 22 cities a total of $950,000 a year to provide emergency service to residents living outside the cities.
