West Chester Borough will now collect its own property taxes instead of having the Chester County Treasurer’s Office do it. “The borough will save cash and receive tax income sooner by collecting property taxes on its own,” Borough Councilman Bernie Flynn said. The county treasurer is currently contracted to collect property taxes for 23 of Chester County’s 73 municipalities. Property owners paying through a mortgage company will need to forward their tax bills to their mortgage companies. Starting with 2024, property tax bills will be mailed from the Borough of West Chester. All existing exemptions will continue to be honored by the borough, and the process for appealing property tax assessments remains unchanged. More information is available on the borough website.
