LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The assessed values of almost 1,000 properties damaged in the Rocky, Jerusalem and Valley fires have been adjusted by the Lake County Assessor’s Office.
Corrected property tax bills have been sent by the Lake County Treasurer-Tax Collector's Office to the mailing address on file for that property.
“When any tax bill is returned from the post office as undeliverable, we do all we can to find the new mailing address, and will resend the bill,” said Lake County Treasurer-Tax Collector Barbara Ringen.
“We’ve used various means to identify properties that have been damaged by the fire,” Lake County Assessor-Recorder Richard Ford reported. “On a fire of this magnitude with such catastrophic damage, this has been challenging. There is a small possibility that some properties that were damaged or destroyed have not yet been officially documented.”
Ford said that there are also some fire-damaged properties that are still being analyzed for the proper tax corrections and those bills have not yet been sent.
Any property owner whose structure was damaged or destroyed by the fires, and do not receive a corrected property tax bill by Feb. 15 should call the Lake County Assessor’s Office at 707-263-2302.
If you have questions regarding the post-fire valuation on your property, please call the Lake County Assessor’s Office.
If you have questions regarding payment of your property tax bill, please call the Lake County Treasurer-Tax Collector at 707-263-2234.
