Tax Assessment Appeals
An Experienced Team with Unusual Perspective
For townships, boroughs, and school districts in Southeastern Pennsylvania, securing a local tax base is paramount to funding essential services. Kilkenny Law specializes in representing taxing authorities in real estate tax assessment appeals to ensure fair and uniform taxation. For our private clients, we pursue tax assessment appeals to ensure that their private properties are not over-assessed due to changes in the market or property’s condition, often saving them thousands of dollars in property taxes each year.
​
Kilkenny Law has a record of success at all levels throughout the tax assessment process, from the county board of assessment through the court of common pleas and higher courts. We work closely with local appraisers and assessment experts to build compelling cases to support the desired assessment numbers. Our attorneys manage all paperwork, adhere to critical deadlines, and provide vigorous representation at all hearings and court proceedings. We advise on complex legal and constitutional issues related to assessments, protecting taxing-districts from improper challenges and ensuring compliance with Pennsylvania law.
