  • UNDERSTANDING REASSESSMENT What Is a County-Wide Reassessment?

    Lebanon, PA
    Other

    Lebanon County is conducting a county-wide real estate reassessment for the first time since 1972, after a 2008 court ruling determined that property values had become inconsistent and outdated, causing unfair tax burdens among property owners. The reassessment aims to establish current Fair Market Values and ensure uniform taxation across similar properties, with 21st Century Appraisals, Inc. contracted to conduct the process including property visits, data collection, new valuations, and appeals assistance. The document explains that reassessments are necessary because property values change over time at different rates across neighborhoods and property types, creating inequities in the tax system.
