Bill Summary
Amending the act of May 25, 1945 (P.L.1050, No.394), entitled "An act relating to the collection of taxes levied by counties, county institution districts, cities of the third class, boroughs, towns, townships, certain school districts and vocational school districts; conferring powers and imposing duties on tax collectors, courts and various officers of said political subdivisions; and prescribing penalties," further providing for installment payment of taxes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Local Tax Collection Law to expand the number of installment payments that local taxing districts can offer for tax collection from four to twelve installments. Currently, local governments like counties, cities, towns, townships, and school districts have the option to allow taxpayers to pay their taxes in installments, but they were previously limited to no more than four installments per year. The new legislation increases this flexibility, allowing taxing districts to break down tax payments into up to twelve installments annually. The bill specifies that even with this expanded installment option, no discounts or abatements will be permitted on taxes paid in installments. The changes will go into effect 60 days after the bill is signed into law, giving local governments time to adjust their tax collection procedures to accommodate the new, more granular payment schedule.
