Property Tax/Rent Rebate

On Thursday, March 6, Senator Saval hosted a telephone town hall on updates to the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program. Our district has one of the highest costs of living in Pennsylvania, and many of our neighbors are cost-burdened by rent or property taxes, making this program crucial to offset some of these high expenses.  

The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program supports homeowners and renters across Pennsylvania. This program provides a rebate ranging from $380 to $1,000 to eligible older adults and people with disabilities age 18 and older. 

Pennsylvania homeowners and renters are eligible for this program if they are ages 65 and older, are widowed and ages 50 and older, or are living with disabilities and ages 18 and older—and meet the above income requirements.

Supplemental Rebates

Supplemental rebates provide an additional $190 to $500 in relief to applicants with the most need. These rebates are automatically calculated for property owners with $31,010 or less in income whose property taxes are more than 15% of their total income, and for those who live in these locations:

• Philadelphia
• Scranton
• Pittsburgh

Rebates will be distributed beginning July 1, as required by law. First-time filers should anticipate that it will take additional time to review their applications and process their rebates.

Learn more about the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program from the Department of Revenue’s website or by calling 1-888-222-9190.
