Pennsylvania Property Tax/Rent Rebate

The program provides a standard rebate ranging from $380 to $1,000, based on income. Households earning $0 to $8,550 receive the maximum $1,000 rebate, with lower amounts at higher income tiers. Some applicants also qualify for supplemental rebates of $190 to $500, which can raise the total to as much as $1,500. Supplements are automatic for property owners with $32,070 or less in income whose property taxes exceed 15% of income, and for residents of Philadelphia, Scranton, and Pittsburgh.

To qualify you must meet an age or disability requirement and an income limit. Eligible applicants are adults age 65 and older, widows and widowers age 50 and older, and people with disabilities age 18 and older. In addition, your household income must be $48,110 or less per year. Both homeowners and renters can apply.

You can apply online through myPATH (the Department of Revenue's filing system), by mail using a PA-1000 application, or with free in-person help available at hundreds of locations statewide. The deadline to apply for 2025 rebates is December 31, 2026. Rebates begin being issued July 1. For help, call the Department of Revenue at 1-888-222-9190.
