Radnor Accepting 2018 Real Estate Tax Prepayments Through Dec 31

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, PA – Radnor Township residents who follow certain requirements can prepay their 2018 real estate taxes now through New Year's Eve, according an announcement from township officials.

On Dec. 11, the Board of Commissioners voted to keep the 2018 mill rate the same as the 2017 mill rate, which is 3.9228.

With the mill rate adoption, the township said residents can prepay their 2018 real estate taxes through Dec. 31, with some caveats.

Below are requirements for the prepayment program, courtesy of Radnor Township:

• Participants understand that Radnor Township is not providing tax advice by offering this program. Participants in the program should contact their tax advisor with any questions regarding Federal or State tax laws.
• Time frame: The program will run from December 12, 2017 through December 31, 2017.
• All payments must be made in person at the Radnor Township Building at the address above during normal business hours. Mail in payments will not be accepted and will be returned to the taxpayer.
• The Township will provide the taxpayer with a payment receipt that includes the date of the payment, along with a copy of the check.
• All prepayments will be based on estimates:
  • Participants should use their 2017 Township Tax bill as the basis for payment. However, these are estimated amounts; and
  • Once participants receive their final 2018 Township Real Estate Tax Bill, any shortfall will be the responsibility of the taxpayer. Failure to pay any outstanding balance within the normal payment window will result in penalty and interest in accordance with Township Code;
  • or If the prepayment is greater than the final 2018 Township Real Estate Tax Bill, the Township will issue refunds by the end of February 2018.

The township said questions about the program are to be directed to township Revenue Coordinator Amy Lacey (610) 688-5600, extension 143.
