It’s Official, just a few days ago I received the results of my Appeal, from the Assessment Office (**Click on link below to see the Actual Letter**). My Total Real Estate Taxes have been reduced a little over 77%, that’s a substantial and permanent decrease. Total Taxes for 2008 are $1090.72, they would only be $248.23 if the reduction was effective for this year. This is NOT a misprint, my Taxes have been reduced by $842.49 per year. I appealed this year 2008 and the changes are effective for the 2009 tax year.
The above property is a 10 year old Double-wide mobile home in average condition on a rented lot located in Tuscarora School District, Saint Thomas Township, Franklin County, PA. This mobile home has never been previously appealed or had any improvements.
I have successfully Appealed my over taxation and significantly reduced my taxes. I suggest everyone, on a rented lot, do the same. It costs nothing to Appeal!
September 1 is the deadline each year to submit Appeals to Assessment Office. Any changes made to your taxes take effect the following year. You ONLY have 1 month left this year to submit your appeal!
Double-wide Owners have to Appeal (See details click on Double-wide button to the right). Single-wide Owners ONLY have to call the Assessment Office, then they figure your new assessed value. You should followup (See details click on Single-wide button to the right).
