Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

| purchased a residential property located at 10400 Brandon Rd. in Kenockee Twp. in 2023. 

| paid the winter 2023 

taxes. 

Upon paying the 2024 summer taxes 

i saw the tax bill was high but paid it. When 

i recieved the 2024 winter 

tax bill 

i then realized the SEV had substantially went up thus the high tax bill, 

| then spoke to our township assesor about the high SEV and the county assessor. 

| was advised to pay the tax and 

schedule an appointment at the boatrd of review in March with the understanding 

i would receive a credit for the 

overpayment in 2024 

. 

| did understand the cap had fallen off due to the sale and purchase of the property, but 

i could 

not understand how high the SEV went up. 

The property purchased was in desrepair and the intent was to clean it up 

, make repairs and help my son out on his 

first home. 

| hired a professional appraisal firm to perform an appraisal of the property to have the ability to state my 

case at the board of review. 

Kenockee township established an SEV of $133,700.00 in 2023. The SEV went up to $183,100.00 in 2024. The 

appraisal company established a value of $224,500.00 performed in December of 2024. 

| am seeking some assistance to seek the overpayment of property taxes in 2024 due to the over valuation of the 

property.
