Property Tax Information
2018 Property Taxes
We are now collecting the 10% penalty amount until December 31, 2018 for the Township of Moon Property taxes and the Moon Area School District property taxes. Please remember, according to Pennsylvania state law, the property owner is responsible for the property tax regardless of whether or not a statement was received.
2018 Additional Assessments
Some property owners received an additional tax bill as a result in an increase in their property assessment. Please note that the face value is due on January 29, 2019. According to Pennsylvania law, the tax office may not accept payments for 2018 taxes after December 31, 2018. Property owners paying after this date must send their payments to the law offices of Weiss, Burkardt and Kramer. Please be advised that, although Weiss, Burkardt and Kramer is the appointed delinquent tax collector for the Township of Moon and the Moon Area School District, payments made for 2018 additional assessments will not be considered late if they are paid on or before January 29, 2019.
Holiday Hours
The property tax office will be closed to observe the following holidays in November:
Veterans Day - Monday, November 12 (observed)
Thanksgiving - Wednesday, November 21 through Friday, November 23
Things to Remember
- Tax office hours are listed at the bottom of your tax statements.
- Postmarked mail is always accepted, but please remember, it must show the postmark on the envelope.
- If you wish to receive a paid receipt, whether it's the individual installment payments or the final summary of all payments, please send a self-addressed stamped envelope. The cost of printing, postage and envelopes prohibits my office from sending these as a courtesy and not all taxpayers request receipts.
- If you are unsure of your property tax payments, please call the office prior to making a possible duplicate payment. We will be glad to check for you.
- If a property owner's mailing address needs updated or changed for whatever reason, please contact me at the Moon Township tax office at 412.299.7446 as well as county treasurer John Weinstein at 412.350.4100, as soon as possible.
- Please visit my website for more information, including office hours, holiday closings, and other useful information.
