Bucks County Commissioners have approved a new partnership between the Bucks County Tax Claim Bureau and the nonprofit Credit Counseling Center, aimed at helping struggling homeowners manage delinquent property taxes and avoid losing their homes. The program combines the Tax Claim Bureau's ability to arrange affordable repayment plans with the Credit Counseling Center's free, confidential financial literacy coaching and guidance — services the bureau doesn't offer on its own. With nearly half of the Credit Counseling Center's 5,000-plus clients facing mortgage distress in 2025, the partnership is designed to break the cycle of mounting tax debt before homes are put at risk of upset tax sale. Residents can enter the program through Tax Claim Bureau referrals, community partners or elected offices who may direct their constituents to the tax program.
