Sample home, East Norriton Twp · East Norriton Twp, Montgomery County · Norristown Area School District · Parcel SAMPLE
If your opinion of value is accurate, you should be in line for a large reduction of about $1,052 per year in your property taxes, every year.
The county taxes this home as if it's worth $588,000 ($175,000 × 3.36, Montgomery County's factor). That's $73,000 more than your opinion of value of $515,000. If the Board agreed with your value, the assessment would be about $153,470, and yearly taxes would go from $8,552 to $7,500.
These figures are based on the home value you provided: your opinion of value of $515,000. If that's accurate, these figures are accurate. If your home would sell for more, the savings are smaller; if for less, they're larger. In an appeal, the Board decides the value from the evidence it receives. Recent sales of homes like yours are how you check and support your value; the Playbook shows you how to find them.
You have the numbers. The Montgomery County Playbook is a step-by-step guide to how homeowners take their own assessment appeal through Montgomery County's process, from the first check to the hearing.

Rates: 2026 county and municipal rates and 2026–27 school rates from Montgomery County's published millage tables. Before the homestead/farmstead exclusion, discounts and penalties, so an actual bill may differ. Rows may not add exactly because of rounding.
* Multi-year totals are simple multiplication. They assume today's tax rates and that a lowered assessment stays in place until a future change or countywide reassessment.
Montgomery County assessments are based on 1996 values (in effect since the 1998 tax year). Each year the state sets a factor to bring assessments up to today's market. For Montgomery County it is 3.36 for appeals filed July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027. Your assessment × 3.36 = the value you're taxed as if your home is worth. A fair assessment is about what your home would sell for ÷ 3.36 (the Board uses the state's unrounded figure, so its exact result can differ slightly; the figures here use the Board's method).
General information from Montgomery County's published rules, for education only, not legal advice.
An appeal can lower, raise, or leave your assessment unchanged, because the Board sets it from the value it finds. This overview is for education, not legal advice or a complete set of instructions.

(works on your paid order)
We don't appraise your home or give an opinion of its value: this analysis uses the value you entered (even if it started from an automated estimate, it's your call), and you state your own opinion of value to the Board. No result is guaranteed. The Board may give more weight to an appraisal by a PA-certified appraiser.
Estimates only. This analysis is educational. It is not legal, tax, or appraisal advice, not an appraisal, and not a guarantee of any result. It's based on your opinion of value ($515,000), the assessment shown (from public county records), and published millage rates; if any of these are wrong, the results will be too. Always verify with your county assessment office. PA Tax Crushers and our broker are not attorneys and do not provide legal advice or represent you in your appeal.
