LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Inaccuracies were discovered in the recently corrected tax bills that were sent by the county of Lake on Jan. 20 to property owners who lost structures on their land during the Rocky, Jerusalem and Valley fires.
“Revised corrected” bills are scheduled to be mailed on Feb. 3 to approximately 450 property owners, the county reported. Each bill will contain a letter with an explanation of the error that occurred.
“An incorrect data set was used to generate the recent bill,” said Assessor-Recorder Richard Ford. “The 'revised corrected' property tax bills will be higher than the 'corrected' property tax bill that was recently sent, but lower than the original property tax bill received in October.”
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 has not received an adjusted property tax bill by Feb. 19, or anyone having any other questions about post-fire valuation on property should call the Lake County Assessor’s Office at 707-263-2302.
If you have questions regarding payment of your property tax bill, please call the Lake County Treasurer-Tax Collector's Office at 707-263-2234.
