School Board Approves Property Tax Installment Plan

Board members in Mt. Lebanon approved a property tax installment plan for the 2007-2008 school year.

The board typically approves an installment plan as an aid to taxpayers, spreading the tax bill over a five-month period. The plan is for non-delinquent taxes only. Penalties will apply if any of the three scheduled payment dates are missed by taxpayers. The 2007-2008 plan was approved by the board on Feb. 19.

The first installment, or 50 percent of the total assessed tax, is due on Sept. 30, 2007. An additional 25 percent is due Dec. 31, 2007; and the balance of 25 percent is due and payable on Feb. 28, 2008.

The plan outlines a 10 percent penalty of any outstanding balance which becomes delinquent, plus interest. Where a taxpayer fails to evidence an intention to pay the taxes in installments, the taxes shall become due and payable immediately, subject to penalties and discounts outlined in the local tax enabling act.

If a taxpayer elects to pay on the installment plan and is delinquent by more than 10 days on more than two installment payments, that taxpayer will not be eligible for payment on the installment plan in the next fiscal year.

What a delightful change in board leadership last week with Josie Posti at the helm. Her demeanor was professional and polite to the residents...no smirks, laughing,or talking during the residents comments...

This is OK. But what about the deadbeats that fail to timely pay their taxes at all. There was quite a list of delinquents last year. They should get a notice: "Pay up or we will take out an advertisement in Mount Lebanon magazine and publish this list!"
