Info
Pennsylvania levies no state property tax; real estate is taxed by local districts (counties, municipalities, and school districts) on county-assessed values. The State Tax Equalization Board (STEB) sets each county's Common Level Ratio of assessed value to market value, used in assessment appeals and to equalize values for state education funding.
Permitted
Food that is not ready-to-eat (groceries), along with candy and gum, is exempt from the 6% sales tax. Ready-to-eat/prepared food and food sold by a caterer or eating establishment are taxable.
