Property Taxes

Property taxes are levied for both areawide and service area functions. All property in the Borough is taxed for areawide services and general obligation debt. Only those parcels located within the Roaded and Fire Service Areas are taxed for those services. The majority of property located within the Borough's roaded system is also located within the Fire Service Area. The majority of all property falls within the three overlapping taxing areas.

Mill Rate	FY13	FY12	FY11	FY10
Debt Service	1.29	1.29	1.25	1.34
Areawide - Operational	6.66	6.56	6.98	7.11
Roaded Service Area - Operational	2.17	2.24	1.93	1.95
Fire Service Area - Operational	0.43	0.46	0.35	0.20
Total Mill Rate	10.55	10.55	10.51	10.60

If you own property within the Roaded Service Area but without Fire Service (Debt Service plus Areawide plus Roaded Service Area), your mill rate will be 10.12. For every $100,000 of assessed value you will pay $1,012

If you own property within the Roaded and Fire Service Areas, your mill rate will be 10.55. For every $100,000 of assessed value you will pay $1,055.

All property owners pay the Debt Service mill rate. This levy is used to pay for voter approved general obligation debt less the amount received from the state for the School Construction Bond Debt Reimbursement Program.
