Pa. Bill Would Freeze School Property Tax Rates For A Year

Pennsylvania would freeze school property tax rates at 2020 levels for one year as a response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, under a bill introduced in the state Senate.

S.B. 380, which Sen. Wayne Fontana, D-Pittsburgh, introduced Friday, would provide pandemic-related tax relief for property owners by not increasing property tax rates from Jan. 1, 2020, through Dec. 31, 2020.

If enacted, the bill would take effect 60 days later.
