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. 6PM  Post a Response in Schuylkill County

Re: over 2000 homes in Sch. Co. up for delinquent P.T. Posted by 6PM on August 20, 2009, 5:02 pm, in reply to "Re: over 2000 homes in Sch. Co. up for delinquent P.T." Pennsylvanians should be embarrassed that our state likely has the largest Home Equity Theft industry in the nation. EXAMPLE: Let’s say a home is worth $50,000 and the homeowner owes $5,000 taxes, penalties and interest. Often homes in the lower price ranges sell at the sheriff sales for taxes\penalties\and interest owed. If our example home did sell for taxes penalty and interest owed, the new buyer would have paid just $5,000 for the $50,000 home. What happened to the other $45,000 in equity the homeowner had in the home? It was stolen from them by the County and given to the person or company buying the home at the sheriff sale. If I robbed you at gunpoint and was arrested…and in addition to jail time, I was fined—let’s say--$5,000. Could the judge then ask me to also turn over any 401k investments, or savings bonds or other legally attained assets BEYOND the $5,000 (my debt to society)? Why not? The counties do it at sheriff sales when they steal people’s homes AND most or all of their equity. 6PM  Post a Response in Schuylkill County
