Neshaminy School District

The Neshaminy School District levies a per capita tax on every resident of the school district who is eighteen years of age or older.  This tax is due yearly and is based solely on residency. It is NOT dependent upon employment or property ownership. Residents living in rental units are also responsible for payment.  The annual Per Capita Tax bill is mailed on the first of July each year. 

There are two allowable reasons to request an exoneration or abatement from payment: a financial exoneration or being an active member of one of the regular armed forces.  

Financial exoneration may be requested if the resident’s income from all sources is less than $5,000 for the previous year; they may sign the reverse side and return the bill to their tax collector.    A financial exoneration must be requested each year if eligible.  

Financial exoneration will only be given if your total income from all sources is less than $5,000 per year.   Examples of income include:

• Wages or salary
• Unemployment compensation
• Social Security
• Gifts
• Pension
• Dividends
• Retirement
• Property rent
• Disability
•  Annuities
• Public assistance
• Interest

If the resident’s yearly income from all sources is more than $5000, the bill must be paid directly to their local tax collector shown on the Per Capita Tax bill.

Billing Dates:

• July 1
• If a resident moves into the district after the July 1st billing, an add-on bill will be mailed on either October 15. December 15, or February 1. The date of the add-on bill will be determined by the move-in date. 

Due Dates:

• July bills are due by December 15.  Final notices are mailed on November 15.
• October, December, and February bills are due by May 31. Final notices are mailed on April 15.

Payments need to be made before the final payment date to avoid delinquency and further charges.   For questions regarding the Per Capita Taxes, contact the local tax collector noted on the Per Capita Tax bill.

 

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.

 

 

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.
