(a) The board of county commissioners each year shall levy an ad valorem tax on
the taxable tangible property within each fire district in the county organized
by virtue of this act, including or excluding such property within any city in
each district as the case may be, as is required by the budget of each
district. All proceeds of such levy shall be used to carry out the powers,

Whenever a fire district has contracted with any other fire district, city or
township or private entity within the vicinity of the district to furnish fire
protection to the district, the board may make a tax levy which produces a sum
not exceeding the amount payable to the other fire district, city or township
or private entity under such contract during the budget year for which the tax
levy is made.
(b) The board of county commissioners of any county, when authorized by a
majority of the electors of any fire district voting at an election called and
held thereon, may levy a tax of more than five mills but not more than seven
mills in any year upon the property within such district. Such election shall
be a question submitted election and shall be called and held in the manner
provided for the calling and holding of elections upon the question of issuance
of bonds under the provisions of K.S.A. 10-120, and amendments thereto.
