Sample Property Tax Report for a Lackawanna County, PA property


Property taxes in Pennsylvania are levied and collected locally and fund local entities such as counties, municipalities and school districts.

Market Value

Lackawanna County Assessor determines the market values for all taxable real property in the county. Market value has been defined by The Supreme Court as the sale price of real estate as agreed upon between a willing buyer and willing seller, with neither being under duress to buy or sell.

Land market value $2,900
Building market value + $8,850
Market value = $11,750

Assessed Value

The Assessor is also responsible for establishing the assessed values of properties. They are calculated by multiplying a property's market value by a predetermined ratio that, currently, is set to 100% for the whole county. The assessment process takes place every year.

Assessed value = $11,750

Exemptions

Taxable value is assessed values less any exemptions that apply, for instance through Homestead exclusions or the Property tax/Rent rebate program.

Unfortunately, we currently have no information about whether this property currently benefits from any exemptions.

Property Tax

Property tax is calculated by multiplying the taxable value with the corresponding millage rate and represents an estimate of what an owner NOT benefiting of tax exemptions might pay.
Also, non advalorem taxes are levied; these are on a per lot or per family rather than property values.
Actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement and financial assistance programs.

Tax Description Taxable Value Tax Rate Tax Amount
County $11,750 x 51.1800 = $601.37
Library $11,750 x 2.8200 = $33.13
Education $11,750 x 1.0000 = $11.75
Scranton Township (land) $2,900 x 96.7000 = $280.43
Scranton Township (improvement) $8,850 x 21.0300 = $186.12

Property tax = $1,112.80
