Property owners challenging new assessed values calculated during Lackawanna County’s first comprehensive reassessment since 1968 face a Friday appeals deadline if they plan to make their cases at formal hearings starting next month and continuing through October. And while an influx of additional appeals is possible before the deadline, the county remains on pace to receive fewer appeals than officials and experts predicted it might as the reassessment project nears completion. Those who plan to appeal their new assessed values but have yet to formally file must do so by 4 p.m. Friday, he said. Reassessment appeals hearings will begin Monday at 10 a.m. and continue through October. Those boards have the right to increase, decrease or leave unchanged an appealing property owner’s assessment.
