Ventura County officials say they are in the process of sending out reduced property tax bills, or refunds to Thomas Fire victims this week.

Assessors representing the County Assessor’s Office, the Auditor-Controller’s Office, and the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office have so far inspected more than 3,000 properties. The reduced bills, or refunds are going to people who submitted claims for property tax relief due to fire damage.

Officials say refunds will be made to those who made the original payment.
