More than $727,000 Damage From March 31, WILDFIRES
“The Wildfire damage in Oklahoma County on March 31st, 2023 is determined to be $727,220 to the two properties impacted in Oklahoma County,” Oklahoma County Assessor Larry Stein said.
Two property owners in the northern area of Oklahoma County lost their homes.
“Our crews and I were at the scene and it was a devastating loss. The fire destroyed two residences. There were volunteer cleanup crews working to remove debris including burned vehicles. A volunteer from the Baptist Convention said to me the metal was being recycled and he brought back $600 for one of the victims and she explained how she can buy some clothes now because she lost everything,” Stein said.
If you can, please reach out to your favorite charities who are responding to the tragedy.
“The Wildfires hit Logan County the hardest where 76 homes, manufactured homes and out buildings were affected. The Logan County Assessor’s Office is still working to determine the total damage. The fires started in Logan County and thanks to area fire fighters and county emergency personnel by the time the fires crossed into Oklahoma County they were beginning to be contained. It was the hard work of the firefighting crews that may have helped prevent more damage in Oklahoma County,” Stein said.
Our office documents the damage and will reduce the value which will reduce the property tax obligation of the property owners for the current year. The legislation allowing this authority was written and supported by assessors to address natural disasters at any time during the calendar year.
