1. How is the assessment of my home determined?

The township does not assess homes. Assessment is done at the county level. Contact the Chester County assessment office at (610) 344-6105 for questions about an assessment.

2. What is an interim tax bill?

Interim tax bills cover the period in which a change in a property's ownership or assessed value was effective. For example, if the ownership of a property changes in October, and the property tax bills are mailed out in March of the following year, an interim tax bill will be sent for that time period once the assessment office forwards the information to the township.

3. If I have an escrow account through my mortgage company, what should I do with tax bills?

If you have an escrow account, you should forward both copies of the bill to the mortgage company for payment. Bills are only mailed to the property owner, not to the mortgage company.
