DISCLAIMER
Beaver County Assessment information data is provided by the Beaver County
Assessment Office. The information contained on this Website reflects property
record data as of the immediate preceding revision as authorized by the Beaver
County Board of Assessment Appeals.
The Fourth through Eighth Class County Assessment Law requires certification of
the assessment roll be made on or before November 15 of each year relative to
the subsequent tax year. Consequently, January 1 of each year is designated as
"Assessment Day" and what exists as of that day shall exist for the entire
year.
The Law also permits revisions to the roll on physical characteristic changes to
properties, which were determined to occur in the prior calendar year, and
approved by the Beaver County Board of Assessment Appeals.
Therefore, the assessment roll and relative data is constantly subject to change
and is considered dynamic.
Property owner identification may appear different than what may be found from
information records in the Beaver County Recorder of Deeds Office because of
the statutory requirements of the Fourth through Eighth Class County Assessment
Law and the rigorous review of all recorded data that may affect the roll.
The relationship between the assessed value and base year market value, as
indicated on each property record, is known as the predetermined ratio and is
applicable to all properties. The predetermined ratio in Beaver County is 50%.
Each July 1, the Pennsylvania State Tax Equalization Board certifies to the
Assessment Office an equalization ratio, known as the Common Level Ratio. The
estimated current market value can be adjusted through application of the
Common Level Ratio, depicting an equalized or record assessed value. The Common
Level Ratio may appear on property records where a taxpayer successfully
appealed the assessment premised upon current market value.
Any discrepancies which may be observed on this information can be reported, in
writing, identifying the perceived error (except value conclusions). Written
correspondence must be acknowledged by the writer’s signature, address and
phone number for verification. Such correspondence will not be answered by the
Beaver County Assessment Office, but will be reviewed and a determination, at
the discretion of the Chief County Assessor, will be made whether to change the
information..
