Carbon County, PA Property Tax Search

A property's market value has been defined by the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court as the price in a competitive market a purchaser, willing but not obligated to buy, would pay an owner, willing but not obligated to sell, taking into consideration all the legal uses to which the property can be adapted and might reasonably be applied.

Assessment is the basis upon which taxing authorities tax a property. In Carbon County a property's assessed value is calculated by multiplying the market value with the predetermined ratio which, for this county, is 50%.

Taxable value represents the assessed value less any tax exemptions or exclusions that apply. For example, under the Local Economic Revitalization Assistance Act (LERTA), local taxing jurisdictions in Pennsylvania are permitted to exempt from real property taxation the assessed valuation of new construction in deteriorated areas or improvements to deteriorated industrial, commercial or other business property for up to ten years. Also, Homestead and Farmstead exclusion is available and may lower the property's tax bill.

We have no information about whether any exemptions currently apply to this property. Therefore, the taxable value will be equal to the assessed value.

Property tax is calculated by multiplying the assessed value with the corresponding millage rates and is an estimate of what an owner not benefiting from tax exemptions would pay. The rates are expressed as millages (i.e the actual rates multiplied by 1000).

Actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement, financial assistance programs and non-advalorem taxes. For more information please visit Carbon County's Treasurer or look up this property's current valuation.
