When you make certain improvements to your property, Chester County Board of Assessment may make an assessment change for your property. It will notify the School District of the additional assessment and the effective date of the change. The District's tax office will bill for that additional assessment separately until the County provides the full assessment (including the improvement) for your regular tax bill.

 

 

 

No. Occasionally, a tax bill is returned to us because it is undeliverable. When a bill is returned, we re-check the address and send a duplicate. If you do not receive your tax bill by the 15th of July, call the tax office at (610) 240-1940.

 

 

Check with your mortgage company to be sure that they paid taxes on the correct parcel. Ask them if the check has been cashed. If the company continues to believe the bill was paid, ask them to call the T/E tax office at (610) 240-1940 and we will help confirm that your contact at the company has the address and parcel number. If your company uses a tax service, ask if the payment was returned. Ask the mortgage company or the tax service to provide a copy (front and back) of the canceled check.

 

 

 

The Pennsylvania legislature enacted a law that expanded the Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) program to give more Pennsylvanians a rebate and increase the amount of the rebates.

 

The rebate program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians age 65 and older; widows and widowers age 50 and older; and people with disabilities age 18 and older. The income limit is $35,000 a year for homeowners and $15,000 annually for renters, and half of Social Security income is excluded.

The maximum standard rebate is $650, but supplemental rebates for qualifying homeowners can boost rebates to $975.

The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program is one of five programs supported by the Pennsylvania Lottery. Since the program’s 1971 inception, older adults and adults with disabilities have received $4.8 billion in of property tax and rent rebates. The rebate program also receives funding from slots gaming. 

 

Homeowners now receive:

 

Income	Maximum Rebate
$0 to $8,000	$650
$8,001 to $15,000	$500
$15,001 to $18,000	$300
$18,001 to $35,000	$250

 

 

Title companies generally pro-rate the taxes between buyer and seller at the time of settlement. If the taxes are already paid, the buyer will reimburse you for the number of days left in the tax year. If the taxes are not paid, they are collected at settlement. If, at the time of settlement, you already paid in discount, it will benefit you and the buyer.

 

 

 

The District is not empowered to make this change. Taxpayers should call the Chester County Board of Assessment at (610) 344-6105 for information about making this change.

 

 

The school budget is compiled over a period of months beginning each fall, with final budget approval by the School Board in June. Dates and times of budget workings and meetings are posted on the T/E School District web site and in local newspapers. All budget meetings are open to the public. Click here for the budget section of the T/E School District web site.

 

 

The Chester County Board of Assessment places an assessment value on your property. The school district sets a mill rate (an amount of tax paid on every $1000 assessment) according to budget needs. Your tax bill is a calculation of the assessment and the mill rate.

 

 

 

There are many factors including the rising costs of goods and services, and increases in enrollment. The budget process is long and complicated, but a great deal of information is available to the public at meetings, on the District web site and through the newspapers.

 

 

The State determines funding sources for schools. At the present time, property owners are responsible for funding schools. The current process benefits the entire community through the appreciation of your property value.
