| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
On August 26, 2020 the California Department of Public Health in response to the Emergency Declaration issued by Governor Newsom on August 18, 2020, detailed procedures for wild fire victims to receive free copies of official records (birth, death, or marriage certificates) potentially lost as a result of the fires. The declaration made no accommodation for copies of official property records.
The Assessor/Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of Voters requests Board authorization to waive fees for copies of official records ($7.35/1st page, $2.00/additional page); filed maps ($4.00 per page); assessor parcel maps/printouts ($2.25 per page, $0.25 per additional page); e-mail assessor documents ($1.75 per document) for owners of properties impacted by the 2020 LNU Fire Complex through June 30,2021. These records are often required for insurance and rebuilding purposes.
These fees are at the discretion of the Board of Supervisors to waive. |
