It's been half a century since Mercer County had property values assessed so, they hired Tyler Technologies to get the job done.
However, several residents say their reassessments increased way beyond their value and they took those concerns to county commissioners hoping to get them down.
"What I'm basically saying was mine is not worth what Tyler had came up with and I worked my whole life and I just retired and I retire to this," Jerry Fazakas, Mercer County resident said.
"It had always been at 23.250 ever since I bought the place," Burt Hunt, Mercer County resident said. "Well it jumped up to 24.300 in tax assessment which basically raised me up about $2,000," he said.
For others, the gap was even larger where one assessed value jumped from $170,000 to over $300,000.
"They came in at $325 from October of last year to now, three months," Levio Baldarelli, Mercer County resident said. "It can't be upside down that much," he said.
Commissioners said the county was behind and that they hadn't had an assessment in 50 years.
"Mercer County is currently in the process of doing this reassessment and when we're done, the objective here is to get their houses valued at their fair price," Timothy McGonigle, commissioner said.
McGonigle urged residents to make an appointment with the appeal board.
"This is not a permanent number, it's not a perfect number, that's why we have the appeal process," McGonigle said. "So once we get these mailers that come in with the value of their homes, they're panicking when really they should just wait until they go to their appeal and see if they can work to the number that they feel their house is really valued at," he said.
In order to schedule an appointment with the appeal board you can go to the Mercer County Courthouse and head into the Tyler Technologies office there.
There are currently 3,300 appeals scheduled and the line is growing.
