Statewide Residential Benchmark
A broad statewide benchmark for Pennsylvania is an effective property tax rate of about 1.35% of home value. On a $400,000 residential property, that equals about $5,400 per year. This is a statewide comparison point, not a guarantee of what any parcel will owe.
Basic statewide deadlines
