Harveys Lake couple happy with new value

Harveys Lake property owners Linda and Boyd Barber became poster children in Luzerne County’s reassessment with their homemade yard sign reading, “For sale. Cheap. $875,600.”

Linda also broke down sobbing at the podium of a county commissioners meeting. The couple recently settled their dispute at court-level mediation, accepting an assessment of $450,000.

“For now, we’re happy,” said Linda Barber.

The couple may still file an assessment appeal next year because their certified appraisal pegged the property at $413,000, she said.
