About Per Capita Tax

Yes, per capita taxes are levied to all adult residents whether or not you are a property tax owner or have children in school. 

Municipal per capita taxes (levied by a township or borough) are billed on a calendar year basis, January 1 through December 31. School District per capita taxes are billed with the fiscal school year, July 1 through June 30.

If you are resident during any portion of the tax year, and haven’t paid the same tax to another taxing authority, you are liable for the tax.

If you have questions or need further clarification on any of the above information, please feel free to contact our office between the hours of 8am and 4pm by email at employers@yatb.com or by phone at (717) 845-1584, Option 2.

To obtain exonerations, or to be exempted from the tax, you must contact your tax collector. Exoneration criteria can vary so please contact your tax collector for specific information. Some reasons exonerations can occur from the tax include: low income, active duty military, or permanent disabilities. 

 You must pay your taxes online using the secure Official Payments platform. 

Our office acts only in the capacity of delinquent collector for this tax. Unfortunately, we do not have direct access to the tax collector records. Original bills are mailed by the tax collector. They are mailed in the same envelope as property taxes to home owners. If you are not receiving your per capita tax bills, please contact your tax collector.

Per capita taxes are not paid by escrow accounts; however, many are often forwarded to mortgage companies in error. If this occurs, please re-request a new bill from your tax collector and pay it before the due date indicated on the original bill.
