The Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) is appealing for the State Government to cease the fire services levy on property insurance.
It has made a submission to the Government's green paper on Fire Services and the Non-Insured, which calls for a levy on building assets and vehicle registrations.
VFF president Andrew Broad says the insurance levy has led to large numbers of landholders going uninsured and Government should fund fire services through other means.
"We believe there should be a charge on properties," he said
"The Government should continue to contribute their 25 per cent of the funding for emergency services and also a charge on registered vehicles."
"This will become a lot fairer way of the community servicing the needs of our emergency services in Victoria."
