Schuylkill County Reassessment

The Community Justice Project, which forced property reassessments in Lackawanna, Schuylkill and Allegheny counties, sued Pennsylvania in the state's Commonwealth Court to get state officials to set standards that include requiring regular reassessments.

Taxpayers say Schuylkill County's notice of new property values includes a future tax estimate, but Lackawanna's doesn't. Lackawanna's assessment director says county fears estimates will turn out wrong, angering taxpayers.
