Who is Eligible?
There are no age requirements. This program is commonly confused with a different state program for the elderly and disabled. But in this case– ALL homeowners are eligible for property tax relief, as long as they use the property as their primary residence. But you have to fill out the application to start receiving the savings. Forms must be mailed or hand-delivered to your county’s tax assessment office.
Get an Application
School districts are required once a year to mail applications to their residents who may qualify, but who have not filed an application. Forms must be mailed or hand-delivered to your county’s tax assessment office. See WGAL for address and phone numbers of those offices.
Reimbursement
This property tax relief will show up as a reduction on your next school property tax bill.
