Property Tax Assessment Values Across Pennsylvania
Understanding the distinction between "market value" and "assessed value" is crucial when examining property taxes in Pennsylvania. The market value is what a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller in an open and competitive market. Location, property condition, and economic market trends often influence it. Each Pennsylvania county assessor estimates the market value for tax purposes. The assessed value is the market value minus any applicable exemptions or limits determined by local laws and offerings. The tax assessed value is the figure used to calculate your property taxes or the amount multiplied by your tax rate to get your tax bill.
Assessment notices: In Pennsylvania, assessment notices are sent in the spring each year. They’ll typically reach your mailbox by the end of March. Each property owner receives an assessment notice that contains both the market value and assessed value, along with an estimate of your property tax bill. By providing insights into how assessed and market values are determined, this section helps property owners navigate their tax responsibilities and understand the valuation processes affecting their property taxes in Pennsylvania. For example, Bucks County has the highest median home price at $300,000.
