Philadelphia homeowners can now apply for all of Philadelphia’s major property tax relief programs through a single online form designed to simplify enrollment and boost participation. The new combined application on the Philadelphia Tax Center lets residents check eligibility and apply for the Homestead Exemption, Real Estate Tax Installment Payment Agreement, Senior Citizens Tax Freeze, Low-Income Tax Freeze and Longtime Owner Occupants Program (LOOP). Mayor Cherelle L. Parker said the tool is part of her Better Services PHL initiative to improve city services. Revenue commissioner Kathleen McColgan said about 80% of homeowners currently use at least one relief program, but many miss out on additional savings because of complex rules and deadlines. To use the tool, visit the Philadelphia Tax Center, search for a property, and select “Apply for all Real Estate Tax assistance programs using a combined application.”
