Allegheny Valley School District Taxes are not collected in District offices. Please see the link for Municipal Information for the tax collector in the area where you reside or do business.

Allegheny Valley School District Real Estate Taxes are due as follows:
Discount – August 31
Face – October 31
10% Penalty Added – November 1

Installment Due Dates:
The Board of School Directors approved a resolution regarding the collection and payment of school real property taxes in installments as required by ACT 1. It should be noted that payment of school real estate taxes in the installments negates the 2% discount for early payment. It is advised that all residents calculate the loss of the 2% discount vs. the acceptance of installment tax payments. These payments will be due in equal installments on August 31st, October 31st, November 30th.

Homestead Credit:
Property tax bills for the 2019-20 will be reduced by $134.556 for qualified homeowners in the District under the ACT 1 Homestead Exemption program. This program is made possible through the distribution of a portion of gaming funds provided from taxes on the slots casinos throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

To qualify, the property must be an owner-occupied residence and the property owner must have filed and received approval via a homestead exemption application with Allegheny County by March 1, 2020. To check the homestead exemption status of your property, visit the Allegheny County web site http://www.alleghenycounty.us/re/index.aspx.
