2023 Westtown Real Estate Tax Reminder:
All 2023 Township Real Estate Taxes must be received by Westtown Township by December 15, 2023 in order to avoid being turned over to collections as delinquent.
Westtown Township Real Estate Tax is based on the millage rate and the assessed value of your property (not the market value). The 2024 Westtown Township Millage Rate will be 3.92, of which 3.5 mills are for general use and .42 mill is designated for open space preservation. One mill is 1/1000 of $1.00 or .001. A property with an assessed value of $200,000 at a rate of 3.92 mills would be taxed $784 ($200,000 x .00392). Chester County and the West Chester Area School District also levy a real estate tax, which are billed separately by those taxing authorities. To appeal the assessed value of your property, contact the Chester County Assessment Office (610.344.6105).
