Debris Removal Invoice Information
Letters were mailed out on June 12, 2023 to all Oak Fire survivors whose property had debris removal costs paid by the County. Each letter includes a parcel-specific invoice of what the County paid for debris removal for each property as tracked by our damage response contractor. Survivors who DID NOT have debris removal insurance do not have to pay or take other action - the invoice is just informational. Survivors who DID have debris removal insurance only need to reimburse the County for the amount allowed by their insurance company. If the bottom-line costs exceeds what is covered for debris removal, survivors are not responsible for the difference. Before paying this difference, please review your parcel-specific invoice. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Lynn at 209-966-3222 as soon as possible.
Important Note: It has come to our attention that costs in three categories on the invoices dated 6/1/2023 - hazard tree, vehicle debris removal, and property owner assistance - were incorrectly switched with each other. This happened when the cost file was merged into the invoices. Cost corrections have now been made to those categories, but the overall debris removal total for your property remains the same. We apologize for the increased confusion and stress this has caused. Please note, the bottom-line costs will not change but the labels for work will be corrected. Again, if you have any concerns regarding your invoice, please contact Lynn at 209-966-3222 as soon as possible.
