What we do
The Board of Revision of Taxes (BRT) hears property assessment appeals. The Office of Property Assessment (OPA) decides the dollar-value of every piece of real estate within Philadelphia, and that value determines how much property tax is owed. File a real estate market value appeal if:
- You think the City’s value of your property is too high or too low.
- The value doesn’t match similar properties in your area.
- There is a mistake about your property’s square footage, condition, or other characteristics.
Owners can also appeal other decisions that affect their property, including denied abatement applications, denied non-profit exemptions, late (nunc pro tunc) petitions, Homestead Exemptions, and eminent domain awards.
The OPA handles First Level Review (FLR) appeals. The Tax Review Board (TRB) handles appeals for interest, penalties, and other City assessments or bills.
Our office is open to the public Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
