How it works
Three layers, one bill
A Pennsylvania property tax bill is the sum of three independent levies. Only one of them is the same everywhere in the county.
Layer 1 · Identical countywide
County — 29.65 mills
Set by the Board of Commissioners. Same rate in all 54 municipalities.
Layer 2 · Varies by town
Municipal
Set by each borough council or township supervisors. Ranges from 2 to 51.39 mills across the county.
Layer 3 · Usually the largest
School district
Set by each school board for the 2026–2027 school year. Typically the biggest
share of the bill.
County millage breakdown, 2026
General purpose 24.0035 mills
Community college 1.1777 mills
Debt service & lease 3.4764 mills
Parks & recreation 0.9924 mills
County total 29.65 mills
County share per $100,000 assessed $2,965 / year
Assessed value is not market value
A mill is $1 of tax per $1,000 of assessed value. Bucks County assessments are not the same as what a home would sell for today, so multiplying a millage rate by a market price or a median home value produces a number that is not your tax bill. Pull your parcel's assessed value from the Board of Assessment first, then apply the rates.

Why some rows show no school rate
Telford Borough sits in a school district whose millage is not published on the Bucks County sheet, so no school layer or total can be computed from Bucks assessed values. Telford Borough is served by Souderton Area SD, which spans county boundaries. The Bucks County sheet omits its school rate and total; confirm the applicable school tax rate with the district.

2026–2027 school year
School district millage
The school levy is usually the largest line on a Bucks County bill. Districts cross municipal lines, so two neighbours in different districts can pay very different school tax on identical assessments.

Common questions
Bucks County property tax answers
What is the Bucks County property tax rate for 2026? The Bucks County millage rate for 2026 is 29.65 mills, applied identically in all 54 municipalities. It breaks down into 24.0035 mills general purpose, 1.1777 mills community college, 3.4764 mills debt service and lease, and 0.9924 mills parks and recreation.
How is a Bucks County property tax bill calculated? Multiply the county assessed value of the parcel by each millage rate and divide by 1,000, then add the three layers together: county, municipal, and school district. Assessed value is the figure on the county parcel record, not the market price of the home.
Which Bucks County municipality has the lowest property taxes? Of the municipalities with a full published rate, Bridgeton Township has the lowest total millage at 159.064 mills and Morrisville Borough the highest at 346.5113 mills. The county median is 208.8 mills. Total millage alone does not determine a bill — assessed values differ by municipality.
Who do I contact to appeal a Bucks County property assessment? The Bucks County Board of Assessment at 215-348-6219 handles assessment appeals. Confirm the current filing deadline and required forms with the Board before filing.
