In a ruling in a lawsuit against Beaver County in late 2017, it was determined that Beaver County would undergo its first property reassessment since 1982. The county is required to reassess by 2022, in a process that could cost as much as 10 million dollars. However, that cost will not include the 166,000 dollars that was incurred through litigation and expert fees by the plaintiff, developer Charles Betters, as it was ruled that the county never acted in bad faith.
