Sample Property Tax Report for a Cumberland County, PA property


Counties within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have a Board of Assessment Appeals which has the responsibility to administer assessment. The Board is an independent agency appointed by the County Commissioners. The Board was specially created by the Pennsylvania Legislature to assess all real estate in the County for the taxing districts (County, Municipality, and School District). The Department has the authority to make all assessment of real property for taxation purposes.

Market Value

The Assessment Office identifies and assesses all properties in Cumberland County using fair and equitable standards. A property's market value is the probable price it would sell for in an open market between a willing buyer and seller, when both parties have full knowledge and facts concerning the property and neither is under pressure to buy or sell.

Land value $55,000
Building value + $114,900
Market value = $169,900

Assessed Value

Assessment is the basis upon which taxing authorities tax a property. In Cumberland County a property's assessed value is calculated by multiplying the market value with the predetermined ratio which currently is 100%. However, if the property's assessment value is appealed, the county's common level ratio may be applied instead; this reflects a comparison of the previous year's actual sale prices to the assessed value.

Assessed value = $169,900

Exemptions and Deductions

Property tax relief is available in Pennsylvania, for instance through Homestead exclusions or the Property Tax/Rent Rebate program, and may lower the property's tax bill.
Also, the property may be included in the Clean and Green Program which affords owners of farmland the opportunity to have their parcels taxed according to their agriculture value rather than their market value.

At this time we have no information about whether any such exclusions or reductions apply to this property.

Property Tax

Property tax is calculated by multiplying the assessed value with the corresponding tax rates and is an estimate of what an owner NOT benefiting from tax exemptions would pay.
Actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement, financial assistance programs and non-advalorem taxes.

Tax Description Assessed Value Tax Rate Tax Amount
County $169,900 x 2.045000‰ = $347.45
Municipal $169,900 x 3.022000‰ = $513.44
School $169,900 x 12.957700‰ = $2,201.51

Property tax $169,900 x 18.0247‰ = $3,062.40
