Nutter arranges a series of meetings on AVI

THE NUTTER administration wants to make sure city residents understand the Actual Value Initiative, a new property-tax system based on market values, and how it will affect them.

Mayor Nutter announced Tuesday a series of outreach sessions to inform residents about AVI, how to apply for relief measures such as the homestead exemption and how to file a review if an assessment appears to be inaccurate.

Outreach sessions will be held Thursday from 6-9 p.m., at the American Heritage Federal Credit Union, 2060 Red Lion Road, and at the Joseph Coleman Library, at 68 West Chelten Ave.

Another session will be on Saturday at Ss. John Neumann and Marie Goretti Catholic High School, 10th and Moore streets, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
