Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Downingtown Area SD v. Chester Cnty Bd of Assmt.

May 19, 2026

Summary

The Supreme Court held that a school district’s use of a $10,000 monetary threshold to select properties for assessment appeals does not violate the Pennsylvania Constitution’s Uniformity Clause, and that the district’s application of that policy was not arbitrary or discriminatory. Accordingly, the Commonwealth Court’s judgment was vacated and the case remanded for further proceedings.
