Stroudsburg property owners face August 1 deadline to appeal 2027 assessments

Stroudsburg property owners have a stated deadline of August 1, 2026, to file for an assessment appeal hearing for the 2027 tax year, according to the Monroe County Assessment Office.

The office also lists an alternate timing standard: 40 days from the date of an Assessment Change Notice. The deadline is part of Monroe County’s countywide property reassessment project, which applies to properties across the county, including properties in Stroudsburg Borough.

What property owners need to know

The published deadline concerns an appeal of an assessment, not a final determination that a particular owner’s taxes will rise. An assessment is used in calculating property taxes, so a change can affect future tax bills. However, the available information does not establish how many Stroudsburg properties received change notices, whether individual valuations went up or down, or the size of any change.

Property owners should compare any Assessment Change Notice they receive with the August 1 deadline and the 40-day period identified by the county. The county’s notice does not mean every property in Stroudsburg was reassessed by the same amount. Individual tax-bill effects also depend on later millage rates and the outcome of any appeals.

Countywide process reaches Stroudsburg

Monroe County launched the countywide reassessment project through its assessment office, which is located in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. The county’s municipal page identifies Stroudsburg Borough as a Monroe County municipality and repeats the August 1, 2026, appeal deadline for affected property owners.

That makes the deadline relevant to homeowners and other property owners in the borough even though the reassessment is administered at the county level. The immediate practical issue is timing: an owner who wants to challenge a county valuation must act within the deadline published by the assessment office.

The approved information does not provide a later hearing date, instructions for submitting an appeal, or a count of affected properties. It also does not establish the eventual effect on any individual tax bill. The next known step for owners who received an Assessment Change Notice is to determine which stated deadline applies and file for a 2027 assessment appeal hearing by the applicable date.
