over 2000 homes in Sch. Co. up for delinquent P.T.

Posted by 6PM on August 20, 2009, 2:42 pm

Pennsylvania homeowners are facing substantial increases in property taxes since the PA Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional the base year property assessment system used by almost all counties in Pennsylvania unless frequent, expensive countywide reassessments are undertaken.

In 2008 the PA House of Representatives voted 193-0 in favor of a constitutional amendment to permit abolishment of all property taxes on primary residences. The Senate Leadership killed a similar bill preventing progress on the fight to abolish all three property taxes (school, county and municipal) on primary residences.

To protect your home, you must be actively involved in urging the legislature to use the emergency provision of the PA Constitution to pass a constitutional amendment to permit primary residence property tax abolishment.
