Welcome Maria Barbieri to the McCarthy Real Estate family!

County tax roundup for 2021: Bucks, Chester, Delco, Montco The counties in our region have updated their property tax millage rates for the 2021 tax year: Bucks County: Bucks County officials approved a final $469 million 2021 operating budget that increases spending by 3.6% but keeps the property tax rate steady at 25.45 mills.... Chester County: Chester County Commissioners unanimously approved a 2021 budget that includes a modest property tax increase. The $604.3 million budget including $513.2 million in operating expenses and $91.1 million in capital costs raises the tax rate from the current 4.369 mills to 4.551 mills. The hike will result in a $734 total annual tax for an average property in the county, based on a single-family home with a market value of $357,000. Delaware County: Delaware County Council approved a $355 million operating budget for 2021. The property tax rate was set at 2.999 mills a lower rate than in the proposed version of the budget because total property assessment values came in higher than projected. The budget also reflects the establishment of a county health department, the result of a process that started in 2020 and is expected to end with state approval at the end of 2021. Note: Delaware County completed a countywide reassessment that takes effect in 2021. The county’s last comprehensive reassessment took effect in 2000. Property assessments are legal values established by counties to determine tax bills. Montgomery County: Montgomery County Commissioners approved a 2021 budget that includes a 5% tax increase or about $29 more per year for the average homeowner. The board last raised taxes in 2017. The board also unanimously passed a resolution for a real estate tax deferral program. It would apply to homeowners 65 years of age or older who have an annual household income of $35,000 or less, including 50% of social security income. All taxes deferred under the program are secured by a real estate tax lien annually and deferred for collection until the property is sold, the owners are no longer the sole residents, or the property is transferred through will or intestacy. Property tax rates are measured in millage, with one mill being worth $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property value.
