Pennsylvania Tax Assessment Appeals is a legal process through which taxpayers can challenge the assessed value of their property for tax purposes. Taxpayers can appeal the accuracy of their assessments in order to lower their tax burden. There are two types of Pennsylvania Tax Assessment Appeals: real estate and personal property appeals. Real estate appeals are for land, buildings, and structures, while personal property appeals are for items such as furniture, equipment, and vehicles. The appeals process involves submitting a petition to the county Board of Assessment Appeals, which is then reviewed and a decision is made. Depending on the outcome, taxpayers may be able to receive a tax reduction, or even a refund.
