Declaratory Judgment – City Ordinance

2015AP678 Town of Hoard v. Clark County

The question on appeal is the legality of Town of Hoard Ordinance No. 091113, which imposes an annual charge on all property owners within the Town for the cost of fire protection. Pursuant to the ordinance, the Town charged Clark County, as the owner of a medical center in the Town, $3,327.68 for fire protection for 2014. The Town brought this action for declaratory relief in an effort to compel the County to meet its obligation under the ordinance. The Town moved for, and the circuit court granted, summary judgment in its favor. The County appeals.
