    Interim Real Estate Tax

    Interim taxes are levied under Act 544 of 1952 (Section 677.1) on the increase in assessed property valuations, as a result of construction or improvements, that occur subsequent to the initial tax bill for that property. The assessed property value on all future Real Estate tax bills will reflect the updated property value.

    • Property assessment values are updated and interim tax bills generated every other month over the course of a school year, starting with the month of August. You can expect to receive an interim tax bill from the County after they have received notice of the completion of a home improvement and an updated property appraisal from the county assessor. 


    Delinquent Real Estate Tax

    Current School Year Real Estate Tax Bills not paid by December 31st, of the current school year, are considered delinquent. A list of unpaid tax bills is sent to Bucks County Tax Claim Bureau, where a lien is placed against the property for which the taxes remain unpaid.

    • Payment of delinquent taxes must be made directly to Bucks County Tax Claim Bureau. Tax collectors and the school district can no longer accept payment of taxes once a lien has been placed against a property. To satisfy a lien, the initial property tax amount and all applicable interest, penalties and lien fees must be paid.
    • Contact The Tax Claim Bureau at 215-348-6274 for further information on satisfying property liens.
