From El Dorado County's Assessor, Mr. Tim Holcomb...

Angora Fire
Property Tax FAQ's

Q. What happens to my assessed value of my property?
A. The Assessor will be reappraising all property in the affected areas
and lowering the assessed value based on the damage suffered.

Q. What does reappraisal do to my property taxes?
A. The taxes you pay this fall and next spring will be based on the
reduced value.

Q. How much will my taxes go down?
A. It depends on your base year value and the amount of damage. As an
example, if you paid about $2,000 a year before and your house was
completely burned, your taxes will probably be lowered to between $500-$750.

Q. How do I make sure I get my tax bill?
A. If your mailing address is changing, make sure to notify the
Assessor here at the Local Assistance Center, or stop by our offices.

Q. What happens when I rebuild my house?
A. When you finish rebuilding, the Assessor will enroll the prior
(old)assessed value. There will be no reappraisal of the new construction
that replaces destroyed improvements.

Q. What if I build a bigger house?
A. The fair market value of the additional square footage will be added
to the old base year value.

Q. What if I build a nicer house with better flooring, trim and
cabinets?
A. Changes in quality will not be reappraised.

Q. What other information can the Assessor provide?
A. The Assessor maintains a property record for every parcel. Some of
the information relates to square footage, permit history and could be
very important. Please do not hesitate to stop by our South Lake Tahoe
Office and
review the information about your property.

Q. How long do I have to rebuild?
A. Depending on where you live, contact the city building department or
the El Dorado County Development Services Department for that
information.

Q. Where are your offices and how do I contact you?
A. The main office in Placerville is located at 360 Fair Lane in the
County Government complex. Office hours are 8:00-5:00, Monday thru
Friday. The phone number is 530.621.5719. The South Lake Tahoe Office is
located in the
El Dorado Center at 3368 Lake Tahoe Blvd, room 103. The office hours
are 8:00-12:00 & 1:00-5:00, Monday-Friday and the phone number is
(530)573-3422.
