How much more Beaver County property owners will pay in taxes after a court-ordered reassessment won t just be based on the new value of their home.
During Tuesday s State of the County Breakfast, Beaver County Board of Commissioners Chairman Dan Camp balked at the notion that local governments will be rolling in riches because of the reassessment. He said that there won t be a windfall of revenue to municipal, school district and county coffers after the first property reassessment in 40 years in Beaver County. Anti-windfall legislation restricts how much more tax revenue a government can receive after a reassessment.
Following a reassessment, a taxing body can only see a 10% increase in revenue without adjusting its tax rate. When pressed by moderator Jon Delano, Camp couldn t say whether or not Beaver County would adjust its tax rate to not receive the approximately $6 million it could potentially receive in tax revenue.
