Gettysburg Tax Collector explains upcoming tax bills

Gettysburg and Adams county residents will be receiving their annual tax bills in the next few weeks.

Gettysburg Tax Collector Lisa Angstadt explains:

The Occupation Tax is charged to every Gettysburg borough resident who is currently employed and the amount is based on the occupation reported to the County Tax Services office. If a resident is unemployed or retired, they are not required to pay the Occupation Tax. If your employment status changes, you must report the change to Tax Services as soon as possible.

You will also get a  Per Capita Tax Bill, sometimes called the “Head Tax,” which is $10.00 if you live in Gettysburg.

You’ll only get a Real Estate Tax bill if you own property.  The amount of the tax is based on the current assessed value of the property.

If you pay these taxes early (by April 30) you will get a 2 percent discount on your tax. But if you pay them late (after July 1), a 10 percent penalty is applied.

You can mail in your Gettysburg borough taxes with a check, pay in person, or online at https://www.govpaynow.com/gps/user/cyg/plc/a0051u
