T HERE'S a good chance city property assessors have already given your home a once-over as part of the citywide reassessment effort under way.
Chief Property Assessor Richie McKeithen on Tuesday told the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority that the daunting job of re-evaluating the city's 450,000 residential properties is about 70 percent complete.
The reassessment process is part of moving to a system that uses market values as the basis for property-tax bills.
McKeithen said that he expects to complete field work within the next two months and that the city was on track to mail new assessment notices by October.
