Pennsylvania: Lackawanna County 2026 Tax Year Reassessment

Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania is at the halfway point of its 2026 tax year revaluation. Valuation notices were mailed end of March and will replace existing assessments from the prior base year of 1968. An informal appeal opportunity is available to all property owners to meet with representatives of third-party mass appraisal firm Tyler Technologies (“Tyler”). Tyler’s guidance advises that appointments must be scheduled by April 30, 2025 to effect any corrections or changes.
