The Pennsylvania Tax Assessment Exemption Application is an application used by Pennsylvania residents to apply for an exemption from real estate taxes. This application is used to determine the property’s exemption status and to set the exemption amount for the tax year. There are four main types of Pennsylvania Tax Assessment Exemption Applications: Homestead Exemption, Farmstead Exemption, Senior Citizen Tax Relief, and Disabled Person Tax Relief. The Homestead Exemption is a reduction in real estate taxes for eligible primary residences. The Farmstead Exemption is a reduction in real estate taxes for eligible agricultural properties. The Senior Citizen Tax Relief is a reduction in real estate taxes for eligible seniors. The Disabled Person Tax Relief is a reduction in real estate taxes for eligible disabled persons.
