How much could a property tax appeal save me each year?
Pennsylvania taxes the assessed value of your property at a millage rate set by your county, so a successful appeal does not change the rate or your home's worth: it corrects the assessed value, and the savings repeat every single year. Run the numbers here, then read Tim's step-by-step appeal guide for Northampton, Lehigh, and Carbon counties.

10% reduction in assessed value
An appeal lowers the assessed value, not the millis rate your district charges. Because the tax bill equals assessed value times the rate, a percentage cut to the assessment cuts the bill by about the same percentage.
Enter assessed value to see your millis.
The catch: Pennsylvania counties will not let you appeal a market decline alone; you need genuine grounds such as an error, an unfair comparable, or a common-level ratio that shows you are overtaxed. The strongest appeals lead with the county's own ratio and recent verified sales. Tim has seen that exact argument move assessments in Northampton and Lehigh counties.

Run the numbers with Tim, then talk them through
Estimates are a great starting point. A 20-minute conversation with Tim Tepes turns them into a plan you can act on, with real listings, real comparables, and honest advice.
Estimates are for education and planning only, not a loan approval, appraisal, or tax advice. Actual costs, rates, and values vary by property and lender.
