Following reassessment, the assessor shall send notice of the assessment value change to the taxpayer.

(c) For purposes of this subdivision, “Chiquita Canyon elevated temperature landfill event” means the elevated temperature landfill event that occurred beneath the Chiquita Canyon Landfill in the County of Los Angeles.
