Real Estate Tax Assessment Law

In Pennsylvania, the law provides that “a taxpayer should pay no more or no less than his proportionate share of the cost of government.” Don’t pay more than your fair share of the cost of government.

The taxes you pay on real estate is based upon the real estate tax assessment set by the county or city your property is located in. All county, school and local taxes are based upon this estimation of value. If the assessment is correct, you pay your fair share of the cost of government. However, if the assessment is too high, then you pay more than your fair share of the cost of government. Van Blunk Law, LLC advocates for fair and just property taxation on behalf of all taxpayers.
