Tax reassessment initiative posted

United Way of Chester County, in partnership with Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania, is accepting applications for its Mobile Home Tax Reassessment initiative for the 2023 season. This program offers free assistance to mobile home owners in Chester County to file property tax reassessment appeals and will do all the work and pay the fees on behalf of the homeowners in the program.

To help spread awareness, United Way of Chester County will host six in-person events. Assistance will be available in both English and Spanish.

All informational events will run from 5 to 7 p.m. Events will take place on Tuesday, April 18, at Avon Grove Library, 117 Rosehill Ave., West Grove; Monday, April 24, at Oxford Village, 2 Dolinger Drive, West Grove; Thursday, May 18, at Phoenixville Public Library, 183 Second Ave., Phoenixville; Wednesday, June 21, at Oxford Library, 48 S. Second St., Oxford; Thursday, July 13, at Phoenixville Public Library; and Wednesday, July 19, at Oxford Village.

To be considered for the 2023 reassessments, visit www.unitedformobilehomes .com and fill out the reassessment form. The deadline to fill out this form is Thursday, July 13, as the Chester County Reassessment filing window is from Monday, May 1, through Tuesday, Aug. 1.

Once the form is complete, United Way of Chester County will contact the client to schedule an intake appointment with a representative from Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania. A paralegal will complete the forms and will contact the client for their signature. A volunteer from United Way of Chester County will take photos of the home for documentation. Clients will be notified of the results of their reassessment appeals in October.

Individuals who recently appealed their taxes should wait between two to five years to reappeal, based on the year of their mobile home.
