Property Tax Reset For Santiam Canyon Wildfire Survivors
(Salem, OR) -- Homeowners in Santiam Canyon who lost their houses to wildfire in 2020 are getting property tax relief. When a house is rebuilt after a fire, it's normally taxed at the current value. The Oregon Legislature passed a law this year that allows counties to assess homes rebuilt after a fire to the pre-fire level. The Marion County Board of Commissioners passed an ordinance that allows property owners to apply for the relief.
