Real Estate
 

   The County lists detailed information for each of its 27,006 properties.  The last countywide assessment was done in 2001.  Real estate assessments represent 100% of the 2001 market value.  The real estate assessment roll is used to levy taxes for the County, townships, boroughs and school districts, each year.  During the annual budget process for each taxing body, a millage rate (tax rate) is set.  The millage rate is taken times the total assessed value for each taxable property in the district to arrive at the real estate taxes due.  Currently, the county’s millage rate is 5.75. Example:  Assessed Value of $50,000 X .00575 (the County Millage Rate) = $287.50 Real Estate Taxes.
