June 21, 2023 - Mariposa County officials report that letters and invoices providing individual property information on debris removal services from the Oak Fire were sent out in mid-June.

Thanks to a community member who brought a concern to our team about an inaccurate invoice, we were able to determine a technical error on the part of one of the contracted companies which coded tree removal costs as vehicle removal costs and vehicle removal costs as tree removal costs. Because of this data error, Mariposa County will be sending out new letters with the corrected line items. In addition, we are working with the contractor to provide more detailed breakdowns of what line items entail. Due to limited staffing capacity, we will aim to get this information onto the website as quickly as possible, but cannot give an official timeline yet.

We apologize for the stress and confusion caused by this situation.

If anyone has questions or concerns regarding the debris removal work completed on their property, please reach out to our team as soon as possible so we can help. You can call 209-966-3222 and ask to speak to Lynn or email lmattos@mariposacounty.org.
