The assessed value is the figure used to calculate real estate taxes by taking the millage times the assessed value.

Useful Information |
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.
Application for Homestead Exclusion is available by contacting your local school district.
