An Act amending the act of May 25, 1945 (P.L.1050, No.394), known as the Local Tax Collection Law, further providing for notices of taxes.
HB 1039 amends Pennsylvania's Local Tax Collection Law to standardize how tax collectors deliver notices to property owners. The bill requires notices to be sent by specific deadlines (July 1 or within 15 days after June 16, depending on when tax duplicates are received) and mandates that each notice include key details like tax amounts, property valuation, payment instructions, and penalty dates. Municipalities with home rule charters may set their own notice deadlines, but the state will provide a uniform notice form to all tax collectors. This affects local tax collectors and property taxpayers by clarifying and streamlining the notice process.
