MEMORANDUM

Posted: March 29, 2016 09:20 AM
From: Representative Warren Kampf
To: All House members
Subject: Eliminate Spot Appeals of Property Assessments
 


In the near future, I will introduce legislation that would eliminate spot appeals of property assessments in Pennsylvania. Some taxing jurisdictions have used their ability to appeal the assessments of properties to such an extent that the practice seems practically indistinguishable from spot reassessment, which is prohibited by law. This is unfair to many landowners, homeowners and businesses.

My legislation will remove a taxing jurisdiction’s ability to appeal the assessment of a property based solely on the sale of the property. Taxing authorities may only appeal an assessment when the property has gone through a countywide reassessment, been divided into smaller parcels, or a change in the productive use of the property has occurred.

I hope you will join me in sponsoring this important piece of legislation.



Introduced as HB1993
