The Bend City Council is expected to vote soon to put a levy on the May ballot for Bend Fire & Rescue.
The current levy is 20 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. The levy renewal request would replace the existing rate at a new rate of 76 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. (In the city limits, the average assessed value of residential properties is about $288,000, Deschutes County Assessor Scot Langton told us.)
