Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2025 - 2026 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: December 2, 2024 10:09 AM
From: Senator Lisa M. Boscola
To: All Senate members
Subject: Senior Citizens Property Tax Freeze
 
In the near future, I intend to reintroduce legislation to freeze property taxes for certain seniors.

Specifically, this legislation would prohibit any political subdivision from imposing any increase in property taxes on residents that:
  • are age 65 or older,
  • have lived in their homes for at least five years, and
  • make less than $65,000 annually.
Until local school districts can limit increases to residents’ local property tax bills, my legislation will aim to provide real tax relief to the older Pennsylvanians who are hardest hit by rising property taxes.

Last session, as SB 469, Senators COSTA, FONTANA, TARTAGLIONE, and FARRY signed on as co-sponsors.
