    How to apply

    Homestead / Farmstead Exclusion: file once with the Delaware County Board of Assessment (deadline March 1). PA Property Tax/Rent Rebate: file annually with the PA Department of Revenue (Form PA-1000). LERTA / KOZ programs: coordinate with the municipality's economic development office before closing on a rehab or new-construction property.

    Estimating your bill

    To estimate: multiply the parcel's assessed value (not market value) by the combined millage per $1,000. In Delaware County, assessments are usually a fraction of market value — the "Common Level Ratio" (CLR) published annually by the PA State Tax Equalization Board reconciles the two.
