Appeal property tax valuations in Philadelphia - Help!
My assessments all went up... Some went WAY up!
Do you have or know someone who has successful experience appealing these valuations?
How much does it cost?
Is it worth it to pursue?

@Max T. - there are lots of companies (usually law firms) that specialize in tax appeals; they take a percentage of the first year's savings as payment, so you don't have much to lose by using one of them UNLESS the appeal results in a higher tax. Yes, you read that correctly, the appeal can go either way or stay the same, you lose if the taxes go up.
My brother appealed taxes on a house in Philadelphia and got a 12% reduction using the guy below:
