Recent wildfires in Los Angeles County have caused extensive damage to over 10,000 properties, with more expected to be identified in the coming days. Los Angeles County Assessor Jeff Prang has highlighted the financial challenges that victims of the fires are likely to face in the aftermath of the disaster.
Prang mentioned that residents whose properties have suffered damage exceeding $10,000 may be eligible for property tax relief through the state's 'misfortune and calamity' program. He emphasized the potential need for legislative support to ensure that fire victims receive the maximum benefits available to them.
Prang encouraged individuals affected by the fires to contact his office for free services and assistance in filing claims. This outreach aims to provide support to those grappling with the aftermath of the wildfires and navigating the complexities of property damage and tax relief.
