Philadelphia Crosstown Coalition Publishes "How To Appeal Your Real Estate Tax Assessment
The Crosstown's 24-page manual "How to Appeal Your Real Estate Tax Assessment" updates a 2013 guide created for the last mass reassessments.
Early
this year the Office of Property Assessment (OPA) mailed "Notice of
Valuation" forms containing property value assessments for the realty
taxes due in February of 2019. While there was a May 2 deadline for
filing a First Level Review request to OPA, any property owner
(including those who filed OPA First Level challenges) may contest their
assessment by filing an appeal form with the Bureau of Revision of
Taxes (BRT) no later than Monday, October 1. Owners who requested a
First Level Review but have not received an OPA determination by
mid-September are encouraged to fill out a BRT appeal application form
so as to ensure their appeal rights if a disappointing OPA determination
arrives immediately before or after the October 1 BRT appeal deadline.

Friends
of PCI is One Quarter of the Way towards their Goal of Helping
Mobility-Impaired Children and Adults access our Neighborhood Library!
Friends
of Philadelphia City Institute (PCI) reports $100,000 has been
collected towards the goal of $400,000 for the purpose of installing a
lift in our local branch library on Rittenhouse Square. Thanks to all
the neighbors who have contributed to this campaign.
This
branch is the third busiest branch in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, our
mobility-impaired neighbors are shut out from two important parts of the
library - the Children's Room and the Community Room, both on the lower
level, accessible only by stairs. The lift will remedy this problem. They need all neighbors to contribute large and small amounts to this effort. Please send a check to Free Library of Philadelphia Foundation/PCI Lift, 1901 Vine Street, Suite 111, Philadelphia PA 19103. Click or tap here for more info.
