Property Tax and Rent Rebate Program Applications Being Accepted
Governor Edward G. Rendell encourages seniors and residents with disabilities to apply for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate program, which provides rebates up to $975 to residents who meet program criteria. The deadline to apply is December 31, 2010.
Tax Relief for All PA Homeowners
Pennsylvania homeowners received nearly $770 million in property tax relief in 2009, delivering on Governor Rendell’s promise to help reduce the burden of property taxes.
Approximately 123,500 Pennsylvania seniors paid no school property taxes in 2009, thanks to the combination of general property tax relief and the Property Tax/Rent Rebate program.
Last year gaming revenue reduced school district property tax bills by about 10 percent, averaging nearly $200 per homeowner and benefiting approximately 2.7 million households across the state. Click here for an estimate of property tax relief by school district.
"Property tax relief is real, and it is making a difference in the lives of older adults and hard-working families across Pennsylvania," Governor Rendell said.
