Fire services throughout the Town of Groton are provided by independent fire districts which have their own governing boards and their own authority to raise taxes based on the Town's assessment of properties within their districts. For the convenience of taxpayers, the Town collects fire district taxes along with the regular property tax bills and remits those funds to the fire districts. Some fire districts provide service to their residents by contracting with other fire departments within the town. Currently, each fire district is responsible for providing fire marshal services within its district.

Fire districts are also empowered to provide certain non-fire services to residents or businesses (varies by district). For more information, please contact the fire district.

To find out which fire district contains a certain property, you may contact the fire district or the Town of Groton Planning Division.
