The Board of Revision of Taxes (BRT) has recently mailed Notices of Change in Market Value and/or Assessed Value to about 15,000 property owners across the City. The notices are the result of the normal business operations of the BRT, including the posting of new property accounts, additions and alterations to existing property accounts and abatement implementations. An application for Appeal of the new valuation has been included with each notice letter, as well as information regarding Special Provisions for Low Income Senior Citizens.

It should be noted that the property valuation changes that are detailed on these notices are not connected with the BRT’s Actual Value Initiative.

The Board of Revision of Taxes is the City agency whose staff is charged with establishing real property values which serve as the basis for real estate taxes levied by the City of Philadelphia.
It consists of a seven-member panel that is appointed by the Judges of the first Judicial District of Pennsylvania. This panel also hears all appeals of property valuations filed by City property owners.
