Tax Relief For Mobile Home Owners In Chesco

EXTON, PA —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.

The program offers free assistance to mobile homeowners in Chester County to file property tax reassessment appeals and will do the work and pay the fees on behalf of the homeowners in the program.

To help spread awareness, United Way of Chester County will be hosting six in-person events.

Assistance will be available in both English and Spanish. Here are the sessions:

• Avon Grove Library: 5 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, April 18, 117 Rosehill Ave. West Grove;
• Oxford Village: 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, April 24, and Wednesday, July 18, 2 Dolinger Drive, West West Grove.
• Phoenixville Public Library, 5 to 7 p.m.Thursday, May, 18, 1 and Thursday, July 13, Phoenixville., 183 Second Ave.
• Oxford Library, 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 21, 48 S. Second St

“Only 25% of mobile homeowners in Chester County have taken advantage of this program,” said Christopher Saello, president and CEO of United Way of Chester County. “We are hoping to move the needle further and reach every mobile homeowner in our community.”

Mobile homes depreciate over time, unlike other forms of real estate. Because the tax assessment system makes no provision for the decrease, mobile home taxes are accurate only in the first years after purchase and become increasingly inaccurate each year thereafter.

To be considered for the 2023 reassessments, visit www.UnitedForMobileHomes.com and fill out a reassessment form.

Information is also available by calling 877-429-5994 for assistance in English or for Spanish call 610-436-4510.
