CCRA Public Meeting on Property Reassessments
Join
CCRA on Thursday, 5/17, starting at 6:30 p.m. at Tenth Presbyterian
Church (1701 Delancey Street entrance) for a public meeting on the issue
of property reassessments.
A few weeks ago the City's Office of
Property Assessment sent out reassessment notices to property owners
throughout Philadelphia. Many homeowners now have questions about the
reassessment process and seek information on how to appeal before the
5/25 deadline for submitting a request for First Level Review.
Come out to our public meeting to get
answers. At the public meeting will be a representative from the
Office of Property Assessment as well as other knowledgeable resources.
The meeting is free to attend and open to the public.
