More on Allegheny County Real Estate Property Assessments
The legal team at Behrend & Ernsberger, P.C. has helped hundreds of Allegheny County property owners fight back against an unfair property assessment system.
How does a property owner protect his or her rights? The property owner must take a protective appeal before the appeals deadline.
A protective appeal is a precautionary appeal filed when someone might otherwise lose the right to appeal and must preserve uncertain or contingent rights.
Therefore, if you believe that the upcoming assessment in Allegheny County will adversely affect you, filing a protective appeal is the first step to preserve your rights.
The out-of-state companies that are hired by Allegheny County to assess your property do not even look at the property in person. They rely on statistics about your home that are often incorrect.
