Pennsylvania Property Owners Navigate Reassessment Challenges

Pennsylvania is one of nine states without a statewide reassessment requirement. With some reassessment periods being 10+ years apart, property owners usually find that market values and assessed values greatly differ. Properties have shown increases of up to 40%, making it difficult for property owners to plan and budget accordingly.

After notices of reassessment are mailed, property owners are often faced with tight deadlines of 45 days or less to dispute values either informally or formally through the county assessor appeal process. This process can be complicated, and it is important for property owners to understand their rights during the reassessment period to get a fair value and avoid costly lawsuits.

Property owners need to thoroughly understand the reassessment process before beginning any appeal. It is also important to understand any local laws or regulations that may impact the assessment process, as well as how taxes are calculated and collected in Pennsylvania.
