Property Tax Information
The Moon Township Property Tax Office is collecting the 10 percent penalty amount for both the Moon Area School District and Moon Township property taxes until December 31. Your payment must be received on or before December 31 in order to reconcile and close the 2019 collection year records in preparation for the annual audits for both taxing authorities. Please remember that the delinquent collector will add additional fees and penalties to the 10 percent penalty amount as listed on your statement once the accounts have been turned over to them during the first week of January 2020. If you are unsure that you paid, don't hesitate to call us.
We have received and processed a large number of additional taxes this year from Allegheny County. If you received an interim billing or additional tax statement due to an increase in your assessment or new home billed previously at the land only assessment and the collection periods extend beyond the 2019 calendar year, the taxes will be collected by an outside agency. The dates on the original statements will be accurate and honored. However, you may not receive a new statement, so it's up to you to send your payment to the outside agency or call my office for their phone number or mailing address. If you forwarded those bills to your mortgage company, you should follow up with them to ensure they sent the payment on your behalf. Many mortgage companies do not honor supplemental statements.
The office is now following the fall/winter office hours as follows:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday - 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Tuesday, Thursday - 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
These hours are printed at the bottom of your statements and are posted on our
website
