North Penn School District•

At the May action meeting, the North Penn School District (NPSD) Board of School Directors unanimously approved a revised property tax rebate program that will see a discount of up to $487.50 for certain homeowners and renters. This discount is a substantial increase from the previous year.

To qualify for this discount, applicants must have a household income of no more than $35,000 annually, and:

Be 65 years of age or older; or

North Penn homeowners and renters must qualify for the state rebate program to qualify for the district rebate program.
