Has anyone tried to appeal their property assessment for tax purposes in Philadelphia?

[Sophie Mia]

Hi everyone,

Let's say I buy a house which is appraised by the city at about $100k more than what I am paying for it (in 2014). Therefore my taxes will be based on the higher appraisal which took place in 2013.

How difficult would it be to appeal the appraisal? Is it easier since I obviously paid $100k less than the supposedly correct market value from the appraisal?

Thank you!
