Please Vote Yes for the tax for the Beauregard Parish Fire District 3 Continuation Tax, Thank you for your support

The Beauregard Parish Fire Protection District 3 property tax is strictly a continuation and renewal tax, not a new tax. It was established by the Beauregard Parish Police Jury under Ordinance No. 5-78 on May 9, 1978, and has been continuously supported by voters through 10-year and 15-year cycles for nearly five decades.

Below is the chronological ballot timeline you can share with voters to prove this is a historic continuation.

Property Tax Ballot History (1978–2026)

• 1st Ballot Vote (1978): Put before voters immediately after the district's founding in 1978 to establish initial funding for equipment and operations.

• 2nd Ballot Vote (1988/1989): Renewed by voters on a 10-year cycle. (During this cycle, in April 1989, Fire District 3A was briefly carved out but later recombined).

• 3rd Ballot Vote (1998): Renewed by voters as a standard 10-year continuation tax to maintain the facilities and volunteer infrastructure.

• 4th Ballot Vote (2004/2005): Following the formal merger of District 3 and 3A by the Police Jury in May 2004, a combined millage proposition was approved by voters, aligning the district into a 15-year funding cycle.

• 5th Ballot Vote (2011/2012): Approved by voters for a 15-year period spanning from 2012 through 2026. This established the current 23.40 mills framework.

• 6th Ballot Vote (2025/2026 Cycle):

◦ November 2025: The 15-year renewal appeared on the ballot. It was narrowly defeated (309 to 256) due to historically low voter turnout and a lack of public outreach.

◦ June 27, 2026: The exact same 23.40 mills continuation tax is back on the ballot. This is the district's final opportunity to secure a 15-year extension (running 2027 through 2041) before current funding completely lapses.

Key Talking Points

• $0.00 Tax Increase: Voting "YES" does not add a single penny to current tax bills. The ballot language explicitly states it is to "continue to levy a special tax".

• Defeating the Tax Will Cost Residents More: If this renewal fails, the department will lose roughly $400,000 in annual operating funds and will likely have to shut down. This will collapse the area's PIAL safety rating, causing local homeowners' insurance premiums to spike by an estimated $1,500 to $2,000 per year.

• Dedicated Funding: By law, 100% of these funds stay local to buy fire trucks, maintain regional stations, train volunteer personnel, and secure the water shuttle

A sad day when over 20 firefighters resign because a corrupt board continues to allow the suspended fire chief to spend recklessly while showing blatant disrespect to the department. Over $400,000 was spent in 2025, yet 2026 began with a $20,000 deficit. Fire trucks are constantly breaking down, stations are falling apart, and morale is gone. The question remains: where did the money go?

A Beauregard fire district saw its staff greatly reduced Monday night as around 20 members announced their resignation during a board meeting.

This truly is a very sad day. Not sure how the department will make it one of things for sure they are really gonna work for any money they can get. With no money left in the budget and now this. The next rating is not gonna look good. Currently at a 7 that is out of 10 and 10 being the worst. Praying for our firefighters.
