The Chestnut Hill Community Association is in talks with several city council members for a panel to educate citizens on how AVI could impact the area.
The Chesntut Hill Community Association continues to talk about bringing in Philadelphia's city council members to talk to residents about the city's AVI plan. At the CHCA's meeting in late September, association president Brien Tilley said they were still looking in to "creating a panel that would provide a wealth of knowledge" to residents about the city's plan to assess property taxes through Mayor Nutter's proposed Actual Value Initiative. "We've reechoed out to several different people who wanted to be part of it," Tilley said. He said that city council members Cindy Bass, Bill Greene and David Oh have all expressed interest in participating in the proposed panel.

A panel on the issue is coming to Chestnut Hill.
The Chestnut Hill Community Association is aiming to have some big names in town later in the fall. The CHCA plans to bring Philadelphia City Council members Cindy Bass and David Oh to sit on a panel educating and answering questions from Chestnut Hill residents on the city’s forthcoming Actual Value Initiative.

A new map shines some light on that question.
The majority of homeowners in Mt. Airy would likely see their property taxes increase between $1,000 and $3,000 if Mayor Michael Nutter's Actual Value Initiative (AVI) is implemented, according to a map released by the Philadelphia Public Interest Information Network. The map shows how AVI might specifically affect individual areas throughout Philadelphia if the tax rate is set at 1.8 percent of the home's value. That hasn't been settled yet but will be once City Council passes a budget. The body is required to do that by the end of June. AVI would likely require homes to be assessed at their actual market value. Here's a look at the Mt. Airy numbers. The map only profiles certain properties and is intended to give a general sense of AVI's…

City officials came to the gathering to discuss the potential new city initiatives.
"Our assessment system is kind of broken," city Finance Director Rob Dubow told a larger-than-usual crowd at a West Mt. Airy Neighbors meeting at Allens Lane Art Center Tuesday. With that statement, Dubow, along with three other city officials that came to the organization's annual meeting (at which it elects new board members and officers), kicked off a spirited discussion. The officials came to the gathering at the behest of WMAN, which generally tries to secure a keynote speaker for its annual gathering in June. The East Mt. Airy Neighbors organization normally does the same. Dubow talked about Mayor Michael Nutter's Actual Value Initiative plan, which is an effort to assess properties at their true market value. The city has been …
