This notice will include a projection of the amount of taxes which MAY be levied on the property when the new assessment is implemented. Property owners will have an opportunity to provide information that was not discovered in the information gathering process. This review is for the exchange of information and answering questions only. It is not an appeal of the assessment, nor a pre-requisite for appeal to the Dauphin County Board of Assessment Appeals. Appeals must be filed within 30 days of receipt of notice of the new assessment.
Every property owner has the right to appeal the assessment if they feel that it is incorrect.
Dauphin County will appoint special auxiliary boards to hear appeals at different locations throughout the county. It is important that anyone wishing to appeal their new assessment receive a timely hearing. The appeals boards will hear and act upon all appeals by October 31, 2001. Instructions for filing an appeal will be included on the valuation notice. New assessment values will become effective January 1, 2002.
