How can I appeal my property taxes to the tax authorities?

Appealing your property taxes to the tax authorities in Pennsylvania is a very simple process. It starts with a written request to the county’s tax assessment office. In the written request, you should provide your name, address, property description, and the reason for why you are appealing the taxes. Once the tax assessment office has received your written request, they will review your appeal and make a determination if a tax appeal is warranted. If the tax assessment office finds that a tax appeal is warranted, they will schedule a time for you to attend a hearing. At the hearing, you will have the opportunity to present your case and evidence that explains why you believe your taxes should be reduced. The tax authorities will consider all evidence presented at the hearing and will render a decision. The decision of the tax authorities is binding, so it is important to provide as much evidence and detail as possible to support your case. Depending on the outcome of the appeal, you may request a “reconsideration” if you disagree with the decision, but it is ultimately the tax authorities’ decision that stands.
