Important Tax Information Enclosed

Act 1 of 2006-Taxpayer Relief Act

November 30, 2006

Dear Property Owner:

As a resident homeowner, you are entitled to property tax relief, BUT YOU MUST

COMPLETE THE ENCLOSED APPLICATION AND MAIL IT TO: Homestead

Coordinator’s office in the enclosed addressed envelope.

The Taxpayer Relief Act was signed into law in June 2006. It will provide property tax

relief to resident homeowners. Property tax relief will not be immediate. It will begin

only when the state certifies that it has enough gaming revenue to make payments to

school districts to offset their lost local revenue from reduced property taxes.

The tax reduction will come to you in the form of a reduced assessment noted on your

school district property tax bill. You must qualify for the reduction by filing a homestead

exclusion application with the Homestead Coordinator’s office, and your application must

be approved.

Send your completed application, as soon as possible, but before March 1, 2007,

to: Homestead Coordinator, Board of Assessment, Courthouse and Government

Center, 201 W. Front Street, Media, PA 19063

You will receive notification regarding your approval/denial from the county assessor

within 30 days after the receipt of your application. If for any reason your application is

denied, you will be given an opportunity to appeal the county’s determination.

This mailing is from the Board of School Directors at:
