The Pennsylvania Property Tax/Rent Rebate program was expanded last month
Qualified homeowners and renters can receive Pennsylvania Property Tax rebates of as much as $1,000. The household income limit is now $45,000 annually. That expansion of Pennsylvania Property Tax rebates will make about 3,700 more senior Northampton County residents eligible for Pennsylvania Property Tax rebates.
