How property tax is calculated
Pennsylvania has an effective property tax rate of about 1.26% of owner-occupied home value, compared with a US average of 0.90%. On a $350,000 home that is about $4,410 a year, or $368 a month. The figure is the statewide average from the Tax Foundation (2024, based on US Census Bureau data); your exact bill depends on your county, school district and any exemptions, so edit the rate in the calculator if you know yours.

What changes your bill
- Assessed value: many places tax an assessed value that can be lower or higher than the market price, and some limit how fast it can rise.
- Local rates: counties, cities and school districts each set rates, often written as mills (dollars per $1,000 of assessed value).
- Exemptions: homestead, senior or veteran exemptions can lower the tax.
