Pennsylvania property taxes are assessed by individual school districts, and Beaver County has no countywide cap on annual increases — your assessment can rise unlimited amounts each year until you file a homestead exemption. The Homestead Exclusion program reduces your school district taxable value by an amount set by each district (typically $15,000–$50,000); file with your school district assessor by August 1 of the year after purchase. If you earn under $35,000, also apply for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue by June 30 annually.
