Instructions for Filing Non-Profit Application

The filing deadline is December 31, in order to be eligible for real estate tax exemption for the subsequent year.  Please read General Rules.

  • File a separate, original application for each real estate parcel to be considered for eligibility for exemption.
  • Use only that address assigned by the Board of Revision of Taxes to identify the real estate parcel.
  • Submit all of the exhibits assigned on the application at the time of filing.

The assigned Evaluator will arrange an on-site inspection of the property to determine current usage. The findings of the Evaluator will be reduced to writing and presented to the Board for its review.

The Board will notify the applicant in writing of its decision. You may appeal the Board's decision to the Court of Common Pleas within thirty (30) days from the date of the Board's decision.
