Washington County assessments reset without a statewide cap, meaning your tax bill can increase substantially — file a Homestead Exclusion with your school district assessor to reduce taxable value by the district-set amount (usually $15,000–$50,000). Eligible seniors, disabled persons, and widows earning ≤$35,000 can claim the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program; apply to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue by June 30 each year. Contact your specific school district assessor (not the county) within 30 days of closing to confirm the Homestead Exclusion deadline and amount for your district.
