Real Estate Tax Bills

The Phoenixville Borough Real Estate tax bills are mailed annually in March. Property owners are responsible for all taxes on their property. Failure to receive a bill does not relieve the taxpayer from the responsibility to pay.

5.84 mills for general purposes

2.55 mills for fire protection

1.43 mills for public parks and recreation

Local Income & Local Services Tax Collection Procedures

The Chester Tax Collection Committee (CTCC)  appointed Keystone Collections Group to serve as the Earned Income Tax (EIT) and Local Services Tax (LST) collector for school and municipal taxing authorities within Chester County.

This important change was brought about under Act 32 of 2008. Act 32 requires municipal governments and school districts in all Pennsylvania counties, except Philadelphia, to select a single tax collector to serve the EIT collection needs of the political subdivisions within the county.
