Vet Centers are community-based counseling centers that provide a wide range of social and psychological services, including professional counseling to eligible Veterans, service members, including National Guard and Reserve components, and their families. Counseling is offered to make a successful transition from military to civilian life or after a traumatic event experienced in the military. Individual, group, marriage and family counseling is offered in addition to referral and connection to other VA or community benefits and services. Vet Center counselors and outreach staff, many of whom are Veterans themselves, are experienced and prepared to discuss the tragedies of war, loss, grief and transition after trauma.

El Dorado County Assessor Jon DeVille is reminding property owners in the path of the recent torrential rainstorms and snowstorms that they may be eligible for tax relief. By filing a claim for Misfortune & Calamity relief within one year of the incident, properties that have sustained a minimum of $10,000 in damage or destroyed entirely may be eligible for a refund of taxes already paid and lower annual tax bills until the property is repaired or rebuilt.

Claim forms for Misfortune & Calamity relief can be accessed by calling the El Dorado County Assessor’s Office at 530-621-5719 or online at Assessor - El Dorado County (edcgov.us).

Also, Assessor Deville encourages residents to use the County’s general information phone number of 530-621-5895 or online at Office of Emergency Services (OES) (edcgov.us) to get information about other services offered during the recent slate of heavy storm weather.

 Extension to California’s Property Tax Postponement Program to April 14, 2023 

The State Controller’s Property Tax Postponement Program allows homeowners who are seniors, are blind, or have a disability to defer current-year property taxes on their principal residence if they meet certain criteria, including at least 40 percent equity in the home and an annual household income of $49,017 or less (among other requirements). The deferment of property taxes is secured by a lien against the property which must eventually be repaid.

For more information about this property tax extension call 800-952-5661 or email postponement@sco.ca.gov.
