Deadline March 1 For Homeowner School Tax Reduction
1 min readFrom Potter County Today
Homeowners who want to qualify for reduced school taxes have until Thursday, March 1, to apply for the Homestead Exemption, which requires school districts to cut real estate taxes on owner-occupied homes. In short, if you own the property in which you live, you are likely eligible for the tax reduction. Those who have already qualified for the tax exemption in 2009, 2010 or 2011 do not need to reapply. Applications are available on the county’s website here (click on Departments/Tax Assessment).
Taxpayers who qualify for the homestead exemption will see a credit on their school district real estate tax bill in the fall. The tax reduction is significant. For instance, in the Coudersport Area School District, taxes were reduced by $188 for each of the 1,339 owner-occupied homes registered for the program in 2010. In the Austin Area School District, the exemption for the 409 registered homeowners was $324.
School districts are reimbursed the amount of revenue lost through these exemptions from gambling revenues at state-licensed casinos. Homeowners are advised to contact their school districts if they have questions. Potter County homeowners with further questions should call 274-0517.

My own tax preparer told me about this specific website as soon as I had tax debt, http://www.consumertaxreports.org , that reports many different tax debt services nationwide. It ended up saving my family a lot of hours and annoyance and I was able to acquire legal counsel who handled every thing for me! I just wish I knew about this site prior to my friend who suffered from tax debt just last year, were ripped off by JK Harris.
I had been ripped off by this business as well. Now I’m in the process of looking for the next specialist to help me fix my challenges. I am exceptionally cautious presently and this great site has actually been pretty informative.
I can’t believe that happened. I’m all the more stunned at their response. It is actually unfortunate that you simply don’t know exactly who to have confidence in recent times. When you need to hire a specialist to fix your tax factors, you’ll have to check out a respectable web site which reviews all of them. ConsumerTaxReports.Org is a group which critiques tax relief companies and keeps them liable for their poor integrity. It’s really a great source of information. http://consumertaxreports.org
