FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Slot machine tax revenues are used to fund general school property tax reductions for all qualified homeowners in Pennsylvania.* The reduction can be received only on the taxes applied to your primary residence with the reduction reflected as the homestead or farmstead exclusions (or credits) as a separate line item on the tax bill. This relief reduces school district property taxes by an average of nearly $200 per household across the state, though the actual amount differs in each school district based on an allocation formula. More details on casino-driven school property tax reductions including spreadsheets that provide detailed information for every Fiscal Year in which the reduction has been offered, can be obtained at this link.
