Buy lunch and appeal your property taxes!!
With the hardships many are facing, I feel it's very important to reach out as much as possible and make it accessible for as many people to appeal this assessment year and to support our businesses that are hurting. Please stop by and appeal and support a local business. Please share.
Also, if you want me to do a pop-up appeal in front of your business, please email me at davidavila@berwynassessor.org.
