Act 1 Study

  Governor Rendell signed the Taxpayer Relief Act, on June 27, 2006. This law, referred to as Act 1, was established to ease the financial burden of home ownership by providing school districts the means to lower property taxes to homeowners, especially senior citizens, with funding provided by Pennsylvania gaming revenue. The law provides voters with an additional opportunity to reduce property taxes by shifting a portion of property taxes to a local income tax.
