Lower 911 phone fee when fund high

Beginning October 1, 2025, counties must cut the 911 phone fee if their special fund is too large. In counties with 700,000 or more people, the uncommitted year-end balance may not be over $15 million. In counties with 100,000 to 699,999 people, the cap is $7.5 million. If a county ends a fiscal year over its cap, it must reduce the surcharge for the next year so the next year’s ending balance is at or below the cap. This applies to the county telephone surcharge that funds 911 services.

911 fee can fund emergency facilities

Beginning October 1, 2025, counties can use 911 surcharge money to pay for facilities. Spending is limited to the part of a building that holds the emergency phone system. That space must be physically occupied and dedicated to running the system. The law adds this use to the fund’s spending priorities.
