Painter to Sponsor Property Tax Information Day

Residents of the 146^th Legislative District are invited to learn more about the property tax and other local taxes, during an informational day sponsored by state Rep. Mark Painter.

The free event will take place from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. April 4 at Painter's constituent service office located at 600 Heritage Drive, Suite 102, just off High Street in Sunnybrook Village next to Parma Pizza, Sanatoga, PA 19464.

"Residents who attend can learn if they qualify for state property tax rebates and the homestead exemption and also get help completing the forms," said Painter, D-Montgomery. "They also can see if their property is potentially over-assessed and get help with the appeal process."

Painter will be speaking at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. for 30-minute sessions about tax relief legislation, including his bill that would eliminate the per capita tax.

Real estate professionals also will be available to discuss housing options.

Refreshments will be served.

Painter said he encourages people to RSVP to Kim Trotman at ktrotman@pahouse.net or by calling 610-326-9563 if they want his staff to review their property assessment or if they plan to attend the 2 p.m. or 6 p.m. seminar.
