Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program
Since 1971 Pennsylvania has offered relief to older and disabled residents through its Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program. The program in 2022 was worth up to $1,657 thanks to a one-time bonus implemented by the state that equaled 70 percent of the rebate.
However, for 2023 the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program amount was modified between $250 and $975.
Here’s How To Apply For The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program
Eligible Pennsylvanians can fill out an application online anytime before the deadline which is June 30. However, if you need help or prefer to do it in person, Bethel Park residents and others located in the 37th District can apply at the Bethel Park Public Library, located at 5100 W. Library Ave, reports the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
The date to do so will be on March 9 from 10 am to 1 pm. The clinic is being run by state Senator Devlin Robinson, who represents the Bridgeville borough. Another option is to download a paper application and then mail it out to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.
How Much Can You Get
The state’s Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program benefits people aged 65 or older, widows and widowers aged 50 or above, and residents with disabilities who are at least 18 years old. Income for Pennsylvanian homeowners must not exceed $35,000, while the limit for renters is $15,000
Renters and homeowners that earn $8,000 or below will receive up to $650 in rebates. Those making between $8,001 to $15,000 will receive as much as $500. The maximum rebates per income range are as follows:
