United Way of Chester County, along with its partners, will be holding outdoor events to promote its Mobile Home Tax Reassessment Program:

• June 5 from 10 AM-1 PM at Saint Rocco’s Church in Avondale, PA 19311
• June 9 from 5:30-7 PM at Phoenixville Library
• June 14 from 5:30-7:30 PM at Oxford Library

“Our goal of completing 500 successful appeals this year is ambitious, but we are determined to help as many of those in need as we can,” said Christopher Saello, President and CEO of United Way of Chester County. “We are hoping that through these events we can not only meet our goal, but possibly exceed it.”

Partnering with Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania, LCH Health and Community Services, and local food pantries, the Mobile Home Tax Reassessment Program offers assistance to mobile home owners in Chester County to file property tax reassessment appeals.

In just three years, the program has made great impact:

• assisted in 756 successful appeals
• lowered these 756 mobile home assessments by 70 percent from $26 million to their actual assessed value of $8 million
• saved each mobile home owner an average of $883 on annual taxes
• collectively saved these mobile home owners $6.7 million over the next 10 years that they should have never owed to begin with if not for a flaw in state tax code
