Information from the Larimer County Sheriff Office
The Larimer
County Sheriff's Office has received reports of individuals seeking to charge
High Park Fire victims fees of up to $700 to verify whether or not their structure(s)
were damaged by the fire. It is not
known if these solicitors are offering legitimate building inspection services,
or if they are attempting some type of fraud.
The Sheriff's
Office wants to remind citizens that county officials are in the process of
making these property assessments and that the information is available free of
charge. Furthermore, most owners of the
properties known to be damaged have already been notified.
The official source
for structure verification in the High Park Fire zone is Larimer County. Property owners are encouraged to call the
Structure Verification Line at (970) 619-4086 to verify the condition of their
properties. This phone line is staffed
Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
