West Chester, Pa (Enero 31, 2025) – State Senator Carolyn Comitta reminds eligible seniors and adults with disabilities that they can receive up to $1000 back on property taxes or rent paid last year by applying for the Pennsylvania Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program.

“The Property Tax Rent Rebate Program helps put more money back in the pockets of our older neighbors and friends with disabilities,” said Comitta, who serves on the Senate Aging and Youth Committee. “I encourage all eligible individuals to apply for this program and please do not hesitate to contact my office if you have any questions about the application process.”

The program is open to seniors aged 65 and older, widows and widowers aged 50 and older, and adults with disabilities 18 and older with no more than $46,520 in household income. Half of Social Security income is excluded when calculating total income.

Thanks to Act 7 of 2023, which Comitta supported and voted for, the program’s income limit is now automatically increased to adjust for the cost of living so that no one loses eligibility due to the annual increase in Social Security payments.

Interested applicants can apply online at PA.gov/PTRR or by completing the PA-1000 paper application. Property owners must submit stamped paid receipts of property taxes paid in 2024 and renters must submit a completed PA Rent Certificate that is filled out by a landlord or property manager along with the application.

Application assistance is available by appointment at Senator Comitta’s district office in West Chester or one of eight satellite outreach hour locations throughout Chester County. To schedule an appointment call Senator Comitta’s office at (610) 692-2112 or go to pasenatorcomitta.com/contact.
