Previously, I have posted several articles about the process of appealing proerty taxes, in Bucks County. I expect that this will be the last post on the topic, for a while. The deadline for filing for next year, was August 3rd.

I saw an interesting article in the Bucks County Courrier Times, the other day, that described the huge increase in the number of people filing appeals. In Buckingham Township alone, the number of residential appeals went from 25 in 2007, to 267 last year, to 1077 this year!

in Lower Makefield Township, there were 253 appeals filed, which was an increase of 182% over last year.

There was a drastic increase in the number of appeals filed, in virtually every municipality in Bucks County, according to statistics from the Bucks County Board of Assessment appeals.

In Bucks County there is a three member board of assessment appeals, who are appointmed by commissioners. The panel must hear all appeals by October 31st. Hearings are scheduled from 9 to 5, 2 days a week.

If you did file an appeal, it is imperative that you do appear at your designated hearing appointment time.
