Property Tax

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


Market Value

Washington 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 value = $5,508
Building value = $38,320
Market value = $43,828

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 an assessment ratio. This predetermined ratio is currently set to 25% for the whole county. The assessment process takes place every year.

Land assessed value = $1,377
Building assessed value = $9,580
Assessed value = $10,957

Property Tax

Property tax is calculated by multiplying the taxable value with the corresponding tax rate and represents an estimate of what an owner not benefiting of tax exemptions might pay. There are several property tax exemptions like homestead exclusions and relief programs designed to reduce taxes on property. We have no data regarding the exemption amounts, so we assume that NONE apply.
Actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement and financial assistance programs.
