Just a very short post, for today, regarding an upate on the property tax appeal process for Bucks County. I really appreciate the calls and emails, regarding the previous posts that I have done, about how to file an appeal of your proprety taxes.

I wanted to let everyone know, that the deadline for filing, is August 3rd. The only thing that is required to meet the deadline, is to go to the tax assessor website, and download the form. Complete the form, and indicate that information will follow. You don’t have to have all the information together, at this time. You just have to file the form on or before the 3rd.

You will then get a hearing date.

Another important note, you must attend the hearing on the date scheduled. As far as I know, they will not continue the hearing if you are not present.

Another observation, after speaking with many people, is that perhaps the easiest way to get detailed information for the appeal, is to hire an appraiser. An qualified appraiser will generate a very detailed report, that will substantiate a current value that will be lower than your current assessed value, assuming you have a valid case. It generally costs about 400 for an appraisal. Please contact me, if you need to find an appraiser.
