Pennsylvania property taxes

Varies

Are Property Taxes Deductible in Pennsylvania?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Pennsylvania adds its own break: Property Tax/Rent Rebate up to $1,000 (plus supplements) for 65+, widow(er)s 50+, disabled 18+; income up to $48,110.

Homestead: homestead exclusion set by each school district and funded by state gaming revenue. Pennsylvania's rebate income limit now rises with inflation each year; 2025 claims are due by Dec 31, 2026.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
