Tioga County Pennsylvania Reassessment
Press Release – Tioga County Reassessment Project Update 3/21/2023
The County’s last reassessment was completed in 2001, effective for tax year 2002. Real estate assessments represent 100% of the 2001 market value. Following the conclusion of the countywide reassessment, real estate assessments will represent 100% of the 2023 market value. New assessments will be effective for the 2024 tax year.
As we move through the final valuation phases of the Tioga County Reassessment Project, we want to provide Tioga County Property Owners with an update of what to expect over the next several of months.
Before doing so, we need to discuss some important information regarding the new assessments. Something every property owner needs to keep in mind as we move forward through this process is, just because an individual property value increases after the reassessment, does not automatically mean that the taxes will increase, or that taxes will change proportionately with the change in assessed value. There is a legally required millage equalization process, described in more detail below, that must occur after the certification of values is completed on or before November 15, 2023.
