FAQ
Homeowners should contact their county assessment office (position 48) for a copy of their county's homestead and farmstead application form. The March 1 application deadline for property tax relief is set in the Homeowner Tax Relief Act (Section 341 of Act 72 of 2004).
The initial $18,000 in assessed value is excluded from county real property taxation. Although this program is for Allegheny County tax purposes only, school districts and municipalities may also participate. School and municipality participation questions should be directly addressed to those entities.
The Homestead Exemption reduces the taxable portion of your property's assessed value. With this exemption, the property's assessed value is reduced by $100,000. Most homeowners will save about $1,399 a year on their Real Estate Tax bill starting in 2025.
Act 77 (Senior Citizen Tax Relief) Eligibility: Allegheny County residents who meet these requirements: At least 60 years old.
Flat 30% discount of the real property tax on their primary residence for each year you are eligible.
Must be age 60 or older, or, if married, either spouse must be age 60; or be a widow or widower age 50 to 60 years; or permanently disabled and age 18 to 60 years. The applicant must meet the required age by end of the year of application.
Homestead tax exemptions usually offer a fixed discount on taxes, such as exempting the first $50,000 of the assessed value with the remainder taxed at the normal rate. With a $50,000 homestead exemption, a home valued at $150,000 would be taxed on only $100,000 of assessed value.
