The Pennsylvania STEP COMMON LEVEL Ratio EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2016 (6.4 KiB) is a document published by the Pennsylvania Department of Education that provides the Common Level Ratio (CLR) for use in the calculation of the State Tax Equalization BoardsteelEB) property tax assessment appeals. The CLR is used to adjust assessed values of real property to reflect the differences in the property’s market value relative to the state’s median market value. There are two types of CLR, the statewide CLR and the county-specific CLR. The statewide CLR is a single uniform percentage that is applied to all real property in the state, while the county-specific CLR is a unique percentage that is applied to real property within each county. The CLR Effective JULY 1, 2016 (6.4 KiB) document contains the statewide CLR, county-specific Cars, and a CLR lookup table.
