Borough Tax Information

Important Tips from the Tax Collector:

The following is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure tax bills get mailed to the correct address:

All new home purchases in the borough, require the new property owner to inform the tax collector of the address of the Mortgage holder and if there is no Mortgage holder, then the name and address where tax bills are to be sent.  Not receiving a tax bill does not excuse the property owner for being responsible for the taxes.  Borough tax bills are sent March 1st of the current year and are due at discount amount on April 30th of the current year.  Face is due June 30th and everything paid after June 30th payable at penalty amount.

Woodland Hills School District tax bills are mailed out on July 1st of current year and are due at discount amount by August 31st of current year.  Face is due October 31st and payments after October 31st are payable at penalty amount.

Allegheny County Real Estate tax bills are mailed March 1st of current year.

If you do not receive these bills approximately a week after mail date, contact the local tax collector and/or Allegheny County.

It may be wise to mark your calendar with these dates.

All refinanced mortgages need to be reported as to the new Mortgage holders address.

If you change mortgage holder, due to (Ex: lower rates) you need to report the new Mortgage holder and address.

When your mortgage is paid off, it is your responsibility to inform tax collector and give an address where bills are to be mailed.

If your property is a rental property, you must inform the tax collector of the Mortgage holder and address.  If there is no mortgage holder, then the address of the property holder.  If the property owner should move, you need to notify the tax collector of the property owners new address.

ALL OF THE ABOVE SHOULD ALSO BE REPORTED TO THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY TAX OFFICE (412-350-5024/412-350-4100) AND YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY.

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PROPERTY OWNER TO ADVISE THESE AGENCIES.  NOT RECEIVING A TAX BILL DOES NOT EXCUSE YOU FROM PAYING YOUR BILL.
