The Property Tax/Rent Rebate program to Dec. 31, giving eligible Pennsylvanians additional time to apply for rebates on property taxes or rent paid in 2025.

The extension ensures that eligible Pennsylvanians — including older adults, widows and widowers, and individuals with disabilities — have more time to apply for a rebate at a time when rising costs are impacting people across the Commonwealth.

The Department of Revenue has already received more than 400,000 rebate applications this year.

Still, thousands of eligible Pennsylvanians have yet to apply for a rebate that could put as much as $1,000 back in their pockets, according to Secretary of Revenue Pat Browne.

The expansion increased the maximum standard rebate to $1,000 (up from the prior $650 max), raised income eligibility limits for homeowners and renters, and tied the income limits to cost-of-living adjustments.

The PTRR program benefits Pennsylvanians: Age 65 and older, Widows and widowers age 50 and older and people with disabilities age 18 and older

Eligible applicants must reapply for a rebate every year because eligibility is based on yearly income and the amount paid in property taxes or rent during the prior year.

Applying online through myPATH is free.

The system provides instant confirmation and helpful tools, including automatic calculators, to guide applicants through the process.

Assistance is available at hundreds of locations across the state: Department of Revenue district offices, local Area Agencies on Aging, and state legislators’ offices. You can use the PTRR lookup tool on the Department of Revenue’s website to find a location for in-person assistance that is close to you.
