I Lost My Property Tax Appeal…What Now?
You’ve lost your appeal before the local Board of Assessment Appeals (BOAA); what happens next? My suggestion is to pick up a phone and call an experienced property tax appeal attorney.
While going before the BOAA seemed like a simple, informal affair, appealing your case to the Court of Common Pleas is a whole different animal. The Court of Common Pleas is “big boy court” where you have to follow the local rules of civil procedure. In this round of the property tax fight you’ll need someone who not only knows the law; you’ll also need someone who knows their way around the courthouse. If you run afoul of the local rules, your case will get spit out of the system and not get heard. The average citizen would describe this as “losing on a technicality”. Appealing your property tax appeal from the BOAA requires you to submit a formal appeal, complete with the proper certificates of service and verifications.
If you’ve lost your property tax appeal at the BOAA level, give me a call ASAP. There are time limits to filing the appeal from the BOAA. I’ve handled hundreds of appeals and will be able to guide you through the process. I’ll make sure you don’t pay one penny more in property taxes than you should.
Time is of the essence in filing an appeal. You should call me as soon as you receive your rejection letter from the local BOAA. If you wait too long you will be barred from taking an appeal and will have to do the whole thing over next year.
