Personal and Per Capita Taxes

Every resident of Neshaminy School District 18 years of age and older must pay this tax. The only exoneration from this tax is if your total income from ALL sources is less than $5,000 during the twelve month period preceding the date of the bill. Examples of income include: Wages or salary, social security, pension, dividends, annuities, interest, retirement, disability, public assistance, unemployment compensation, property rent, and gifts. There are no exonerations for students.

Real Estate Taxes

The real estate tax bills are mailed on July 1st of each year. Every homeowner is responsible for paying the real estate tax. If a bill is not received, it is still your obligation to secure a bill and pay the bill by the due date. Please contact your tax collector with any questions.

Mercantile and Business Privilege Taxes

The Neshaminy School District and the municipalities of Langhorne Borough, Penndel Borough, Lower Southampton Township, and Middletown Township, require businesses to obtain a license and file a Mercantile Tax return and a Business Privilege Tax return by September 1st of each year.

  • The Irene Boyle Senior Citizen Tax Assistance Program

    Application Release: January 2025 Application Deadline: June 15, 2025

    The 2024 Neshaminy School District Property Tax Assistance Program began in January 2025. Applications will be mailed to previous applicants and the website will be active the week of January 6, 2025. The purpose of the program is to provide property tax relief for our senior citizens. The program is available to homeowners who will reach the age of 65 by December 31, 2024. The program will provide tax rebates of up to $650 for senior citizens whose household income is less than $35,000. This includes reporting half of Social Security or Railroad Retirement Benefits, and 100% of any other income. If you have received a rebate in the past, the district makes every effort to send a rebate application for you to complete each year. If you have not received a rebate in the past, rebate application forms will be available beginning in January 2025. They will be available on the Neshaminy School District website, at your local tax collector’s office or by U.S. mail by calling the Business Office directly at 215-809-6520.

    This program is entering its Forty-Seventh year. Since 1977, rebates totaling over $3.3 million have been paid by the school district, with over 270 senior citizens participating last year. We hope that the amount for which you qualify helps to partially overcome today’s high cost of living for those on fixed incomes.

    NOTE REGARDING PENNSYLVANIA REBATE PROGRAM: We would like to alert you to the probability that if you qualify for Neshaminy’s rebate program, then you would also qualify for the Pennsylvania Property Tax program. The state program provides funds in addition to the Neshaminy rebate program and funds can be received from both. If you have not filed with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania previously, you should call 1-888-222-9190 to order a form. This information is intended only to inform you; Neshaminy does not process the Pennsylvania rebates.
