The Central Bucks School District recently approved a new Property Tax Rebate Program designed to provide financial relief to senior citizens, individuals with disabilities, low-income homeowners and renters, writes Jeff Werner for the Patch.
The program enables eligible Central Bucks residents to submit an application for a refund on their CB property taxes paid to the district. It is modeled after the existing Pennsylvania rebate program as well as similar programs in neighboring school districts.
The program offers a rebate of up to 50 percent of the state rebate, with a maximum benefit of $750. Around 2,000 households in the district currently receive a state rebate, making them eligible for the new CB rebate as well.
“CB’s program will be of modest cost to the district, but will be very meaningful for the citizens who qualify,” said CBSD Substitute Superintendent Dr. Charles Malone.
To qualify, applicants must have an annual household income of $46,250 or less and be either 65 or older, a widow or widower aged 50 or older, or permanently disabled and at least 18.
