HOMESTEAD EXCLUSION ORDINANCE (ACT 50) The Allegheny County Homestead Exclusion excludes the first $18,000 of your assessed market value for county homeowners. In Moon Township the Homestead Exclusion is the first $15,000 of your assessed market value for homeowners.
Act 77 (Senior Citizen Tax Relief) At least 60 years old.
Flat 30% discount of the real property tax on their primary residence for each year you are eligible.
The Homestead Exemption reduces the taxable portion of your property's assessed value. With this exemption, the property's assessed value is reduced by $100,000. Most homeowners will save about $1,399 a year on their Real Estate Tax bill starting in 2025.
To keep things simple, let's say the assessed value of your home is $200,000 and your property tax rate is 1%. Your property tax bill would equal $2,000. But if you were eligible for a homestead tax exemption of $50,000, the taxable value of your home would drop to $150,000, meaning your tax bill would drop to $1,500.
Homeowners should contact their county assessment office (position 48) for a copy of their county's homestead and farmstead application form. The March 1 application deadline for property tax relief is set in the Homeowner Tax Relief Act (Section 341 of Act 72 of 2004).
Must be age 60 or older, or, if married, either spouse must be age 60; or be a widow or widower age 50 to 60 years; or permanently disabled and age 18 to 60 years. The applicant must meet the required age by end of the year of application.
Indefinitely. Unless, you change your residence, mailing address or sell the property. If you are ever required to reapply, you will receive a new application.
