Daily News | 🏠Thousands challenge Philly’s property taxes | Morning Newsletter
Thousands of Philadelphians think their property tax assessments are inaccurate. Here’s who they are.
The city received the most property assessment appeals for 2023 values since 2014. The process requires the city or an independent judicial body to review property values and make adjustments, if warranted. But an Inquirer analysis of appeals data found that equity issues persist in who makes use of the system:Owners of lower-valued properties generally have the most cause to file appeals because they are systemically more likely to be over-assessed. That means they bear a higher share of the tax burden in the first place.
Because lower-valued properties are under-represented in appeals, the homeowners miss out on opportunities to correct city data and improve the accuracy of future assessments for them and their neighbors.An Inquirer analysis previously found that the latest assessments were least accurate in low-income and majority-Black neighborhoods across the city.
