  • Homestead/Farmstead Exclusion:  The taxpayer Relief Act provides for property tax reduction allocations to be distributed by the Commonwealth to each school district.  Property tax reduction will be through a “Homestead or Farmstead Exclusion”.  Generally, most owner-occupied homes and farms are eligible for property tax reduction.  Only a primary residence is eligible for property tax relief.

    How do I apply?  Homeowners must file an application with their county by March 1st for the following fiscal year.  DO NOT mail applications to STSD.  For more information or to apply, reach out to your county tax assessment office:
