CHANGING HOW HOMES AND BUSINESSES ARE TAXED IN PHILADELPHIA: ASSESSING AT “FULL VALUE”

When: Tuesday, June 27, 6:45 p.m.

Where: St. Anne’s Senior Center, 2607 E. Cumberland St.
(between Almond & Aramingo)

What: The Bureau of Revision of Taxes (BRT), which assesses property for taxation, is working on major changes in its assessment procedures (the “Full-Value Project”).
• Many property owners will pay higher taxes, others lower taxes; some may see little change.
• What does “assessing at full-value” mean?
• Why move to this system?
• When will it happen?
• What types of homeowners, businesses, and communities will pay more? Pay less?
• What assistance will the city provide to those hit hardest?

These and other questions will be answered by knowledgable speakers from the BRT and other organizations.
