Bucks County, Yardley, Newtown Pa, tax appeals

As a follow up to my post yesterday, regarding the process of appealing property tax assessments, I saw that in the Bucks County Courier Times this morning, there was an interesting article about a large group of home owners in a specific neighborhood, who decided to appeal their property tax assessments.

The neighborhood is called, “Bluestone Creek“, and it is in Warrington Township. It is a newer developement, and many of the owners found, after moving in, that their tax assessments were based on values that were more than what they paid. As I pointed out in my post, yesterday, property taxes are unfavorably skewed against newer construction.

Home owners in this neighborhood, saved an average of 900.00 each, with their successful appeals.

As I observed yesterday, in my post, this article points out that it is not a complicated process to appeal your property taxes in Bucks County, if you feel that they are not fair, based on other homes of comparable value.
