What school district serves Broomall?

What are property taxes like in Broomall?
A Delaware County property tax bill generally combines three separate taxes — county, municipal and school district — applied to the county assessed value of that individual property. Because assessments, exemptions and millage rates differ by property and are set each year, the only reliable number is the one for the specific address. Ask for the current tax detail on any home you're considering and verify it with the county and the taxing bodies. This is general information, not tax or legal advice.
What you'll actually find in Broomall
Broomall's stock is mostly detached post-war housing — ranches, split-levels and colonials — with some twins and newer infill. Lots are generally regular in size, and the practical differences between homes come down to updates, systems and layout.
