What's inside
- County-by-county appeal deadline reference (all 67 PA counties).
- Comparable-sales worksheet — what counts, what to skip, where to pull them.
- Written summary template the board will actually read in a 10-minute hearing.
- Evidence packet checklist (photos, repair estimates, appraisals).
- Four common mistakes that get PA appeals denied — and how to avoid them.
- Post-decision options if the county Board of Assessment denies your appeal.
Who it's for
PA homeowners filing their own appeal, or hiring help and wanting to know what good looks like.
A sample of what you'll learn
- PA counties almost universally appeal the assessed value, not the bill.
- Most counties' annual deadline falls on August 1 or September 1.
- Boards adjust value, not tax rate. Frame every argument as a value argument.
Educational reference. Not legal, tax, or financial advice.
Frequently asked questions
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. The checklist is educational reference material based on publicly available PA county procedures. It does not establish an attorney-client or CPA-client relationship.
Does it work for commercial property?
It covers residential annual appeals. Commercial appeals frequently go to the Court of Common Pleas and benefit from a Pennsylvania-licensed attorney or property tax consultant.
Can I get a refund?
Yes — within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked. Refunds are handled by the checkout provider.
