VENTURA, Calif. – Property owners whose property was physically damaged by the Mountain Fire and sustained losses over $10,000 may be eligible for property tax relief. Through services offered by the Ventura County Assessor’s Office, property owners can work with the office to adjust their property’s current assessment to reflect the damage incurred by the fire and reduce their current year property taxes.
The Assessor’s Office is actively working to compile information on all properties that may have sustained damage and, if identified, will process disaster relief without an application from the property owner. However, property owners may still submit an application for a reassessment due to disaster relief.
The team with the Assessor’s Office is available to assist with any questions property owners may have. There are a number of ways residents can get in touch with staff for more information:
