By BizWest

The Larimer County assessor has completed a report of property damage caused by the Alexander Mountain Fire.

The report, completed Sunday, shows that 51 homes were recorded as damaged or lost. Property owners impacted by the fire could see their property values reduced, resulting in their taxes being lowered, as they recover, repair or rebuild, according to a news release from the assessor’s office.

“In the months ahead, my office will continue to study damages in the Alexander Fire burn scar for any valuation adjustments on impacted properties,” Larimer County Assessor Bob Overbeck said in a prepared statement. “We’ll also be there to assist homeowners while they rebuild.”
