Generating a BRT-Ready Appeal Packet

If your assessment looks worth appealing, TaxAssessmentIQ can generate the packet in the format Philadelphia's Board of Revision of Taxes expects — in minutes, not from scratch.

When a packet is available

Once your assessment is checked against comparable sales, TaxAssessmentIQ tells you whether the gap looks significant enough to be worth filing. If so, you can generate the appeal packet directly from that same report.

What's in the packet

The packet is formatted the way the Board of Revision of Taxes expects for a standard residential appeal, including the comparable sales evidence used to support the case — the same evidence shown in your comparable sales report.

Downloading and filing

Once generated, the packet downloads as a ready-to-file document. TaxAssessmentIQ prepares the packet itself; actually submitting it to the BRT is a step you take outside the product, following the BRT's own filing process and deadlines.

Know your deadline before you start

Appeal windows are time-limited, and which window applies — First Level Review or a formal BRT appeal — depends on where you are in the process. See First Level Review vs. BRT Appeal before you generate a packet, so you're filing into the right process with time to spare.

Frequently asked questions

Does generating a packet guarantee my appeal wins?

No tool can guarantee an outcome. The packet presents your evidence in the expected format — the BRT still evaluates the appeal on its merits.

Can I generate a packet if my assessment looks fair?

If your assessment isn't significantly out of line with comparable sales, TaxAssessmentIQ tells you that directly — not every property should appeal, and the tool says so rather than encouraging a filing regardless.

Is this only for residential properties?

Yes — it's built primarily for residential property owners; commercial properties often involve more complex valuation questions outside this tool's scope.
