Funding source
The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency administers the Property Tax/Rent Rebate program. It is designed to reduce property taxes for homeowners and developers. All persons who are eligible for a property rent rebate can apply and must show proof of their eligibility. The funding is available in two forms: tax credits and rental rebates. Rent rebates are available to those who have less than the monthly maximum, and tax credits are given to those who have to pay more.
Pennsylvania’s Property Tax Rent Rebate Program has provided more than $7 billion in property tax refunds to older adults and disabled persons in Pennsylvania since it was established in 1962. The program is not keeping up with inflation. As a result, Pennsylvania lawmakers have called on the General Assembly to use some of the remaining money from the American Rescue Plan to continue the property rent rebate program.
