What are property taxes like in Havertown?
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.
