    Property Tax Reduction Allocations
    Special Session Act 1 of 2006

    As required by law, the Commonwealth’s Budget Secretary certified on April 15, 2022, that $778,300,000 will be available in 2022-2023 for state-funded local tax relief.

    The 2022-2023 Homestead/Farmstead assessed value exclusion is $28,841 resulting in a reduction in property taxes of $586.91 for approved Homesteads and Farmsteads.

    Who will receive the tax relief: For property owners to receive this tax relief, they would have had to file their Homestead/Farmstead Exclusion Application with the Monroe County tax office prior to March 1st and receive a notice back that their application was approved.

    What happens to property owners who didn’t apply for the Homestead/Farmstead Exclusion: For those property owners who have not filed their Homestead/Farmstead Exclusion application, we encourage them to do so in order to be eligible for tax relief the next time funding is available. If they apply today and their application is approved, they will not qualify for this year’s tax relief but will qualify for any future tax relief when available.
