  Frequently Asked Questions - District residents who live in owner occupied properties can apply for property tax relief. Relief is not applicable for properties used solely for rental or business purposes.
 Homestead/Farmstead-General Information
  Pennsylvania’s new Homeowner Property Relief Act became law in July 2004. It will provide property tax relief to resident homeowners in participating school districts. The property tax relief will be made available when the designated state and local revenues reach specific amounts set by the law and if a school district “opts in” to the tax relief act through imposition of a new and / or increased income tax.
