A successful appeal in 2023 may result in two years of savings until Wheeling is reassessed in 2025. The best way to ensure you never pay more than your fair share in property taxes is to review your assessment every year and appeal whenever you have a strong basis for an appeal argument, no matter where your township is in the triennial reassessment cycle.
