Montgomery County ESD#2

Montgomery County Emergency Service District #2 (MCESD #2) is a government agency that is responsible for and supervises fire prevention, fire suppression, rescue, and EMS first response for North West Montgomery County.  The district covers 232 square miles.  The Board consists of appointed Commissioners that reside within the district.

Emergency Services Districts (ESDs) are political subdivisions of the State of Texas. They may support or provide local emergency services, including emergency medical services, emergency ambulance services, rural fire prevention and control services, and other emergency services authorized by the Texas Legislature. ESD's may impose a sales and use tax and/or property tax to support or provide these services. 

The ESD Board is governed by State laws and Texas Health and Safety Code 775 as a means to better provide public funding for urban, suburban and rural emergency service organizations.  The Board is appointed by the County Commissioners and Montgomery County Commissioners Court.

Becoming Montgomery County ESD#2

The Montgomery Fire Department was created in 1969 and later became a Rural Fire Protection District (RFPD) which allow a maximum tax rate of .03/$100 of property value.  In 1996, voters approved a ballot measure that converted the RFPD to an Emergency Services District with a maximum tax rate of .10/$100 of property value.  The Montgomery Fire Department continued to provide contract service for the ESD as a 501(c)(3) organization.  In 2009, the Montgomery Fire Department merged with the ESD, and the ESD became the taxing authority and service provider.  May of 2016, voters approved a ballot measure giving the ESD authority to levy two percent sales and use tax in the unincorporated areas of the district.
