If you have questions about your assessment, you may request an informal review by telephone. An information specialist will verify details about your property description and make minor corrections, if warranted. Please note that this may not affect the value of your property.

If you think you have evidence that may affect the market value of your property, or if you would like to meet with a representative face to face, call the Lycoming County Assessment Office to make an appointment.

An appraiser will meet with you, review, and correct (if necessary) the information from which your property value was estimated, and consider any evidence that you may bring with you to the meeting. Your evidence might include a recent appraisal, photographs, maps, or other pertinent documents.

If changes are justified, the appraiser cannot make changes if an appeal is not filed. You will be told how to file a real property assessment appeal.

The county assessor will reply to your request, make changes to the assessment (if justified), and notify you by way of your My Property account. All informal changes in assessments must be approved by the Board of Assessment Appeals.
