    Tax Calculation Example:

    A taxpayer residing in the Pocono Mountain School District owns a property that has an assessed value of $100,000.

    The amount due for school taxes is calculated as follows:

    Current Year Millage Rate = 22.25/1000

    School Tax = Assessed Value of Property x Current Year Millage Rate

    School Tax = $100,000 x .02225

    School Tax = $2,225.00

    2% Discount period: (Amount due if paid between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30): $2,180.50

    Base period: (Amount due if paid between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30): $2,225.00

    10% Penalty period: (Amount due if paid between Dec. 1 and Dec. 31): $2,447.50
