The corporate limits shall be the boundary lines of the Town of Williamstown, being bounded as follows: easterly by the line of Washington; southerly by the lines of Chelsea and Brookfield; westerly by the lines of Northfield and Berlin; and northerly by the lines of Berlin and Barre.

(b) While the District encompasses the same area as the Town of Williamstown, it shall be a corporate body separate from the Town of Williamstown. It shall elect its own officers, vote its own taxes, and manage its own affairs as follows:

(1) The Fire District Prudential Committee shall, for the Fire District, set a Fire District tax rate in the same manner that the Selectboard set the Town tax rate as provided by 17 V.S.A § 2664.

(2) The Prudential Committee shall make contact with the Town for the collection of Fire District taxes.
