Centre County is a 4th class county and the assessment office is administered under the Grade 4 to 8 Assessment Act and the General District. This Assessment Class Act requires the establishment of a three-member Evaluation Committee to hear complaints about evaluation. Assessment Appeals (PDFs) can be filed by landowners and tax authorities to correct overvalued or undervalued properties. Appeals (PDF) can be filed annually if they are filed no later than September 1, with results taking effect at the beginning of the following taxation year. In addition, an appeal may be filed within 40 days of a notice of modification of the assessment issued by that Office after a property has actually changed its market value. The assessed value represents the assessed value less the applicable exemptions or exclusions. In the state of Pennsylvania, there are several exceptions, such as homestead exclusion or the property tax/rent refund program, that can reduce the property`s tax bill.

This department also administers the Ordinance on the Uniform Parcel Identifier (UPI) (PDF) and the Clean and Green Preferential Assessment Program of Law 319/156, which allows for a reduced assessment of agricultural land, open spaces and forests in order to encourage the subsequent use of these types of land. According to certain criteria of the law, real estate can register with Clean and Green before June 1 for the following tax year. • Convert the mileage rate to its decimal equivalent for easy calculation. To do this, multiply the mileage rate by 0.001. o Example: 5 Mills X .001=.005• Multiply this number by the estimated value of the property o Example: A tax rate of 5 mills and an estimated property of $150,000 o Calculation: $150,000 X 005 = $750 To see the full range of factors that determine the tax bill for your target property, see the full real estate report.

This displays the owner`s name, municipality, selling prices, school district, estimated values, and estimated property tax face value. Welcome to the tax assessment information page. This page is designed to help you understand the property appraisal process and provide you with resources for further research. Tax valuation determinations are made by chartered appraisers. The purpose of the process is to correctly determine the market value of a particular property. This estimate is then used in conjunction with the mileage rates set by the tax authorities (school districts, counties and municipalities) to determine the property taxes owing. Note: The tax office does not determine property tax costs. The valuation office determines the fair value of the property only for value-added tax purposes. The tax authority (county, municipality or school district) determines the costs of the tax based on the rates of millage (tax). The assessment of a property may be adjusted periodically through county-wide reassessments approved by the York County Board of Commissioners. Appraisals can also be adjusted due to improvements to a particular property or due to appraisal complaints requested by the owner.

Market value has been defined by the state Supreme Court as “the price in a competitive market that a buyer who is willing but not obliged to buy would pay to an owner who is willing but not obliged to sell, taking into account all legal uses to which the property can be adapted and could reasonably be applied.” The valuation department of our office formulates values valued when the real estate changes or is newly created by subdivision. This department receives building permits from municipalities for new buildings, improvements or demolitions. A certified Pennsylvania appraiser visits the property to review improvements and measure and record properties on the property. The appraiser then formulates land and building values as needed based on the assessment parameters integrated into the Mass Assessment Software (CAMA) and other property-specific criteria. CamA compiles data on the market, costs or revenues that suit the type of property to be examined and, with the input of the appraiser, formulates a uniform valuation with similar characteristics. A UPI is a series of numbers that identifies each lot, parcel or property in York County. This page explains what UPIs represent. These numbers can be used to identify property, liens, property boundaries, and other matters involving real estate. Mass assessment for property tax purposes is based on the concepts of market value and uniformity. In general, the real estate market is the measure of an accurate valuation according to the concept of market value.
Uniformity requires that similar characteristics be assessed in the same way throughout the county. The last reassessment of Centre County came into effect on January 1, 1995. The values valued are based on the 1994 real estate market values. The ratio given is 50%. Important: This website provides access to the Delaware County, Pennsylvania Real Estate Records Database.

GIS is a computer hardware and software system that creates, stores and manipulates information describing artificial and natural objects. Plots, streets and buildings are just some of the many types of data that can be found. County assessment documents are public information and are accessible through computer terminals in the lobby of the assessment office or by subscription to the Centre County Government`s web access to information. Here you can read and print the current real estate mileage (tax) rates as set by school districts, municipalities, and county.
