Fraudulent bills for fire
debris removal have been reported by property owners in Mendocino County who
are participating in the state-sponsored fire debris removal program.
While no
instances have been reported in Sonoma County, both the County of Sonoma and
the City of Santa Rosa want residents to be aware of the potential scam. If you
receive a notice or bill associated with debris removal, DO NOT pay it, and
please notify the District Attorney right away by calling (707) 565-5317.
The County of Sonoma and City of Santa Rosa will not send any insurance
reimbursement notifications to property owners who participated in the
state-sponsored debris removal program until the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
has completed the debris removal process in Sonoma County. A press release will
be sent our notifying property owners of the process once it begins in Sonoma
County
