Neihu Flood-Damaged Vehicle Assistance Opens for Applications Until Sept. 30

Taipei City is providing financial relief to residents whose vehicles were damaged by heavy rainfall and flooding in the Neihu District on June 25. The city government has established a special program to assist owners of water-damaged cars, aiming to alleviate the post-disaster burden.

The "Taipei City Government Assistance Program for Neihu District Flood-Damaged Vehicles on 0625" offers compensation for several costs. This includes payments for vehicles declared a total loss, repair expenses, and towing fees. Depending on the severity of the damage and specific circumstances, aid can range from NT$1,000 to NT$20,000, with a total maximum assistance of NT$25,000 per vehicle.

Owners can apply for assistance until September 30. The program covers vehicles that sustained water damage in Neihu during the June 25 downpour and are registered with valid licenses. Required documentation includes an application form, copies of the vehicle registration and bank passbook, proof of water damage, and receipts for repair or towing costs. Applications can be submitted in person at the Neihu District Office or online through the Taipei City Government website.

In addition to direct financial aid, the city will also coordinate with tax authorities to process rebates for vehicle license tax for eligible vehicles registered in Taipei. Residents facing household flooding will also receive separate disaster relief payments according to government standards.
