The Taxpayer Relief Act provides for property tax reduction allocations to be distributed by the Commonwealth to each school district. Property tax reduction will be through a “homestead or farmstead exclusion.” Generally, most owner-occupied homes and farms are eligible for property tax reduction. Only a primary residence is eligible for property tax relief.
How do I apply?
- Homeowners must file an application by March 1st for the following fiscal year. Applications can be found online or picked up at the ETSD Administration Building.
- School districts are required to notify homeowners by December 31st of each year if their property is not approved for the homestead or farmstead exclusion or if their approval is due to expire.
