CAN RAISE VALUE: Ownwell names Pennsylvania as an exception where an appeal can trigger a reassessment/increase. Ownwell full service covers only Allegheny County and Philadelphia (per AppealDesk, via source report); the rest of the state is Ownwell-absent. Hearing body and representation rule are not named in the source report - verify.
What wins in Pennsylvania
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
