Property Tax Calculation
Property taxes in Pennsylvania are levied and collected locally and fund local entities such as counties, municipalities and school districts.
Market Value
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.
Assessed Value
The Assessor is responsible for establishing the assessed value of properties. They are calculated by multiplying a property's market value by a predetermined ratio. This predetermined ratio is currently set to 100% for the whole county. The assessment process takes place every year.
Exemptions and Taxable Value
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.
Unfortunately, no data regarding the exact exemption or exclusion values was provided to us, therefore the assessed value is equal to the taxable value.
Property Tax
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).
Notice that we used 2025-2026 school rates since 2026-2027 values are not available yet.
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 Lancaster County's Assessor, Treasurer or this property's current valuation and tax situation.
