Philadelphia OPA Announces Release of 2025 Real Property Values; Appeal Deadline Approaches
08.06.24
The Philadelphia Office of Property Assessment (OPA) has announced that 2025 real property values will begin to be mailed to property owners on Wednesday, August 7, with updated values appearing online around the same time. Philadelphia’s deadline for filing property tax assessment appeals is Monday, October 7. This is a strict deadline. The City will not accept appeals filed after October 7, except for late-year purchasers (who have a limited extension) and in extraordinary circumstances.
The Philadelphia school district may also file tax assessment appeals and seek an increase in the assessed value of a property on the basis that the property is under-assessed. If you receive an appeal notice from the school district that an appeal was filed against your property, if you disagree with the claimed value, you need to defend against it.
If you believe your property is materially over-assessed or receive notice that the school district has appealed your property tax assessment, please contact a member of our tax appeals group to discuss how to move forward.
