*The Deadline for the Homestead Exemption has been extended to November 15, 2012*


The city will be introducing a new tax relief program for homeowners called the Homestead Exemption for Tax Year 2014, in conjunction with the implementation of the Actual Value Initiative. The Philadelphia Homestead Exemption offers a Real Estate Tax relief to homeowners by reducing the taxable portion of their property assessment. 

This Program will not be in effect for Tax Year 2013 and applications do not need to be submitted by July 31st, as prviously announced, the deadline is now November 15th.
Philadelphia homeowners can now apply for a Homestead exemption that would provide some relief to those who could be hit hard under Mayor Nutter’s plan to move to a new property-tax system based on market values.

Fill out your application and spread the word!

(link to application: http://www.phila.gov/pdfs/homestead_application.pdf)

Fill out your application and spread the word! Let’s not let this lack of openness and transparency by the Nutter administration deny property tax relief for you and your neighbors.

Feel free to stop by my office for assistance with completing all applications,
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: 9a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday: 9a.m.-7p.m.

Dear Friends,

Today, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania ordered a Special Election on April 24th to fill vacancies in six state legislative districts, including the 169th District seat in Northeast Philadelphia that I am seeking. The court’s decision means a seismic shift in the way we now need to campaign and carries with it a heightened sense of urgency. The effort we have put forth to date will need to double. I want you to know I am ready for the challenge. I know you are, too!  We need your commitment to bring home victory on April 24th! Please contact us here on Facebook or on our official campaign web site, www.neilson4thenortheast.com. We need your help in door-to-door canvassing, phone banks, distributing lawn signs, hosting fundraisers and myriad other ways that will ensure our victory.

From the bottom of my Northeast Philly heart, please know how much I appreciate your help and support. Together, we will celebrate a great victory!

Sincerely,

Ed Neilson
Democratic Candidate
PA House of Representatives
169th District
