Many fire victims are owed a tax refund. L.A. County can't find some of them
Briefly

Residents in Los Angeles county who lost their homes in the Palisades or Eaton fires are entitled to tax refunds due to significant reductions in property values. Despite about 9,700 checks totaling $26 million being sent, 330 checks could not be delivered because the original property owners did not provide updated addresses. Officials encourage displaced residents to inform the county assessor's office of their current addresses to avoid financial limbo. Timely access to these refunds is crucial for the affected residents.
Many residents affected by the Palisades or Eaton fires should have received tax refunds for their reduced property values, but many checks remain undelivered.
Around 330 tax refund checks totaling $26 million were unsuccessfully delivered to residents who didn't update their mailing addresses after losing their homes.
