Scam Alert: Fake HUD Web Site

There is a deceptive web site posing as HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development). This web site tries to dupe people into giving out personal information (known as "phishing") – and because they've made their site appear to be an "official U.S. government web site", some people may fall prey to this scam. The web site is: http://bailout.hud-gov.us/. Please stay away from this web site! Instead, go to the real HUD web site at www.hud.gov.

Abandoned Residential Property Registration.

Foreclosures are increasing in number and those that are vacant are having a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood and community as a whole. The City of La Puente has adopted an Abandoned and Distressed Property Registration Program to deal with the significant rise in bank foreclosures. The fee for registration of each abandoned property is $100 and the registration is valid for one calendar year. The property must be posted with the name and 24-hour contact number of the company responsible for the weekly inspection, maintenance and security of the property. It is hoped that the combination of observant neighbors and an accessible local responsible party will deter any potential deterioration of the property and thus preserve the neighborhood. If you have any questions please contact Community Preservation at (626) 855-1500. Registration documents are located under the Forms tab.

Ordinance Code 08-878>

 

Scam Alert: No Fee Necessary for Prop 8 Review

Various private companies are sending mailings to property owners offering their services in pursuing a reduction in property taxes. These companies may charge hundreds of dollars to file a “Decline in Value Reassessment Application" on behalf of the property owner. These official looking letters could mislead people into believing they are from the County and convince homeowners to pay for a Prop. 8 review when the Assessor will be doing this FOR FREE!
