STATE TAX
EQUALIZATION BOARD

2010 Common Level Ratios

[41 Pa.B. 4280]
[Saturday, August 6, 2011]

 The State Tax Equalization Board (Board) has established a Common Level Ratio for each county in this Commonwealth for the calendar year 2010. The ratios were mandated by the act of December 13, 1982 (P. L. 1158, No. 267).

 The law requires the 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 2010 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 2010.

 The methodology used is to include every valid sale and compute an average mean. Using this mean as a base, the Board has defined high and low limits by multiplying and dividing this computed mean by 4. For those counties which have a predetermined assessment ratio of 100% the extreme upper sales ratio limit is 200%. Using these computed limits, the Board has utilized the valid sales, rejecting those sales, which exceed the limits. The resulting arithmetic mean ratio which the Board is certifying as the Common Level Ratio for each county for 2010.

 The Common Level Ratios for 2010 are listed as follows:
