EQUALIZATION BOARD

2013 Common Level Ratios

[44 Pa.B. 4067]
[Saturday, June 28, 2014]

 The State Tax Equalization Board has established a Common Level Ratio for each county in the Commonwealth for the calendar year 2013. The ratios were mandated by Act 267-1982.

 The law requires the State Tax Equalization Board to use statistically acceptable techniques, to make the methodology for computing ratios public and to certify, prior to July 1, the ratio to the Chief Assessor of each county each year.

 The statistical acceptable technique which the Board used for the 2013 Common Level Ratio is to determine the arithmetic mean of the individual sales ratios for every valid sale received from the county for the calendar year 2013.

 The methodology used is to include every valid sale from 1% to 500% to compute an average mean. Using this average mean as a base, the State Tax Equalization Board has defined high and low limits by multiplying and dividing this computed average mean by 4. After the high and low limits are defined; the extreme upper sales ratio limit is 200%. Using these computed limits, the State Tax Equalization Board has utilized the valid sales, rejecting those sales, which exceed the limits. The resulting arithmetic mean ratio is the ratio which the State Tax Equalization Board is certifying as the Common Level Ratio for each county for 2013.

 The Common Level Ratios for 2013 are as follows.
