By
law, all taxes and fees are the responsibility of the taxpayer.
The
PA Local Tax Collection Law (72 P.S. 5511.7 Section 7) states:
"
Failure to receive a tax notice does not relieve any taxpayer from
liability for prompt payment of taxes imposed by the taxing district,
and such taxpayer shall be charged with the taxes as though he had
received notice.”
If
you do not receive your bill within a reasonable time period after the
billing dates,
Call
the proper tax office.
The
real estate tax is based on a millage rate decided each year by the
three governing bodies.
Aston
Township, 2010 millage – 3.65
Penn-Delco
School District, 2008-2009 millage –21.017
Delaware
County, 2009 millage – 4.825
The
Township's real estate tax bills are mailed each year on February 1. To
avoid penalties, pay early!

If you pay your bill on or before March 31, you will
receive a discount of 2% off the face amount.
·
If you pay between April 1 and May 31, you must pay the
face amount.

If you pay after May 31, you will be charged a 10%
penalty.

Unpaid real estate taxes on December 31 will be returned
to the County of Delaware Tax Claim Bureau as Delinquent for collection.
