Nevada County Assessor Reminds Property Owners of Calamity Tax Relief
Nevada County Assessor Rolf Kleinhans and his team are reminding property owners that calamity relief may be available for property damaged or destroyed by natural disasters such as flooding, severe storms, or fire. To qualify, damage from a single event must exceed $10,000 and a claim must be filed with the Assessor's Office within one year of the incident. The office evaluates claims and may temporarily reduce assessed values, with processing typically taking 30 to 90 days after all documentation is received. Property owners can apply using the Application for Reassessment of Property Damaged by Misfortune or Calamity at nevadacountyca.gov/163/Assessor, email assessor@nevadacountyca.gov, call 530-265-1232, or visit the office at 950 Maidu Avenue in Nevada City.
