Paying Too Much in Property Taxes?
If you suspect your property has been over-assessed, leading to inflated property taxes, Bostedo Appraisal Services can help. Our expert appraisers provide comprehensive Tax Assessment Appeal Appraisals to ensure your property is fairly assessed. Don’t let an inaccurate property assessment inflate your tax bill. Take action now to protect your financial interests and potentially save thousands in property taxes.
With a current value appraisal by a Certified Appraiser along with the drop in the CLR (Common Level Ratio) in Allegheny County to 52.7% (for a deeper dive into the CLR (common Level Ratio) created by STEB (State Equalization Board) you can learn more here from the Allegheny Institute about the Common Level ratio in assessment appeals), many homeowners who purchased a home within the last 5 years may have a very good chance to lower their Real Estate taxes by appealing your assessment. But you have to act quickly to take advantage of this drop due to Allegheny County changing the rules on property owners. Applications for assessment appeals will only be taken for a 2 month period not the historic 3 month period and the timeline has changed as well. What use to be January 1 to Mach 31 is now August 1 to October 1.

“Our Appraiser William Bostedo came out and did a thorough inspection of our home in a very timely fashion considering we needed our appraisal in time for our county assessment appeal hearing. We are also pleased with the outcome of the appraisal for this purpose. Now hopefully this appraisal will carry a lot of weight in the eyes of the assessment board in lowering our excessively high assessment. We will be using Bostedo Appraisal Services in the future and would recommend anyone else to do the same.”
