    Property Taxes on the Main Line PA (2026)

    Property tax rates on the Main Line vary meaningfully across school districts and townships. Two homes priced the same can have $5K–$8K/year tax differences depending on district and municipality.

    Lower Merion SD (Montgomery County)

    Among the most favorable per-dollar rates thanks to a strong commercial tax base (Bala Cynwyd, Ardmore corporate corridors).

    Radnor Township SD (Delaware County)

    Moderate Delco rates. Slightly higher than LMSD on a per-dollar basis, but still competitive given school district boundaries.

    Tredyffrin/Easttown SD (Chester County)

    Moderate Chester County rates. Township-only addresses (Tredyffrin, Easttown) carry no borough overlay.

    Great Valley SD (Chester County)

    Moderate rates. Malvern Borough adds a municipal overlay vs township-only addresses.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Lower Merion SD typically offers the most favorable per-dollar property tax rate among the top Main Line districts thanks to its strong commercial tax base.
