Pennsbury School District recently presented its plans to build a new $279 million high school at a public hearing, with opinions generally split on the issue, write Lacey Latch and Chris Ullery for the Bucks County Courier Times.
But while some opposed it and others are supporting the project, everybody wanted to know how it would affect their taxes. According to a Bucks County Courier Times analysis, the district’s proposed $14.6 million increase in property taxes between 2024 and 2029 could cost local homeowners anywhere from $270 to $620 per year, depending on their township or borough.
A Tullytown resident with an average assessed home value of $18,550 would see their school tax rise from $3,784 to $4,055.
In Lower Makefield Township, with an average value of $42,378, the bill would increase from $8,600 to $9,300. Falls Township, with an average value about $20,000 lower, would go from $4,500 to $4,900.
Finally, in Yardley, with an average value of $27,000, their taxes would also go up significantly from $5,500 to $5,900.
