SMMUSD Waives the 2007-08 Parcel Tax Assessments for Recent Wildfire Victims

 

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District has waived the direct assessments or parcel taxes collected for individuals that sustained 50% or greater damage to their property due to the October and November wildfires in Malibu.  

 

These waivers are one example of how the district is providing various types of support to the victims of the recent Malibu wildfires.  It is the district’s hope that these individuals can restore their homes, security, peace of mind, and quality of life as soon as possible.

 

The County of Los Angeles has identified the parcels involved and will remove the charges from the tax roll. 

 

Questions regarding eligibility for this wavier should be addressed to the County of Los Angeles, Department of Auditor-Controller, Tax Division (213.893.2106).
