Blackhawk School District Real Estate Tax Schedule

Taxes are assessed July 1. Taxpayers receive a 2% discount if they pay by August 31. Payment at full face value is accepted through October 31 and a 10% penalty must be added to the tax bill for any payment received after October 31.

Installment Due Dates
Each year the Blackhawk Board of School Directors will approve a resolution regarding the tax collection and school property tax installment payments as required by Act 1. These payments are due in equal installments on July 31st, October 31st and December 31st. Installments are calculated using the face amount. Taxpayers who choose to pay in installments DO NOT qualify for the 2% discount, and any late payment will result in the penalty being applied to the total face amount.

Property Tax Relief Programs

  1. Homestead/Farmstead Exemption
    Property tax bills will be reduced for qualified homeowners in the district under the homestead/farmstead property tax relief program. This program is funded through the distribution of a portion of gaming funds provided from taxes on the slots and casinos throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This property tax reduction will only occur if the Commonwealth can distribute the necessary amount of gaming funds.
NOTE: The tax reduction will not be distributed as a check, it will appear as a reduced assessment line item thus reducing the tax due directly on the property tax bills.

To qualify, the property must be an owner-occupied residence and the property owner must have filed and received approval via a homestead exemption application with the County by March 1. To obtain an application, please visit the following links to the Homestead exemption applications and additional information:

  1. Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program for Seniors
    The Property Tax/Rent Rebate program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians age 65 and older; widows and widowers age 50 and older; and people with disabilities age 18 and older. The income limit is $35,000 a year for homeowners and $15,000 annually for renters, and half of Social Security income is excluded. The maximum standard rebate is $650, but supplemental rebates for qualifying homeowners can boost rebates to $975. Information of the program and how to file for the rebate can be found at: https://www.revenue.pa.gov/IncentivesCreditsPrograms/PropertyTaxRentRebateProgram/Pages/default.aspx

Local Earned Income Tax

The school district’s earned income tax collector is:

Berkheimer Tax Innovations
1883 Jory Road
Pen Argyl, PA 18072
610-588-0965

All monies collected from earned income taxes are equally shared between the school district and the municipality in which the taxpayer resides.

Under Pennsylvania Act 32, effective January 2012, all Pennsylvania employers must withhold earned income taxes for their employees. The employee should complete a certificate of residency form. This form will determine the Political Subdivision Code (PSD) of the municipality where the individual resides. To obtain a form, contact the Department of Community and Economic Development at 1-888-223-6837 or by visiting Act 32 | Local Income Tax | PSD Codes and EIT Rates (pa.gov) 

In addition, any district resident who owns a business (unincorporated in nature), regardless of location, must pay 1 percent of the net profits. Self-employed persons should contact Berkheimer to set-up an account and make quarterly payments.

For further explanation of earned income, net profits and what types of income qualify or are exempt, contact Berkheimer or visit them at www.hab-inc.com

Tax rates and political subdivision codes for Pennsylvania municipalities can be found by contacting the Center for Local Government Services in the Department of Community and Economic Development at 1-888-223-6837 or by visiting: PSD Codes | EIT Rates | Tax (pa.gov)
