What is a millage rate?

A millage rate is the tax rate used to calculate local property taxes. The millage rate represents the amount per every $1,000 of a property’s assessed value. Millage rates are applied to the total taxable value of the property in order to arrive at the property tax amount. Each entity within Radnor Township (Delaware County, Radnor Township, and Radnor Township School District) sets its own millage rate. Millage gets its name from the Latin word “millesimum”, or “mill” for short, which means “thousandth part” (1/1,000).

Homestead Exclusion

NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX RELIEF: Your tax bill may include a tax reduction for your homestead property. If you are eligible, you have received tax relief through a homestead exclusion which has been provided by the Pennsylvania Taxpayer Relief Act, a law passed by the Pennsylvania General Assembly designed to reduce your property taxes.

If you are currently qualified for the homestead exclusion, you will notice a line item on your bill showing the amount of your taxable assessment is reduced. For the 2023-24 tax year, your assessment will be reduced by $25,015 for a savings of $366.
Please e-mail Jackie Hanley with questions regarding the homestead application process. Applications for Homestead exclusion are issued and processed by the Homestead Coordinator in the Government Center at the Delaware County Court House.
The deadline to apply for the Homestead exclusion is March 1. If you need an application to apply, please email Jackie Hanley your folio #, name and home address. She will request a pre-printed application on your behalf from the Homestead Coordinator as applications are generated from the Homestead Coordinator and mailed to the school district for distribution to homeowners.
Please return completed Homestead Applications to the Delaware County Government Center, 201 West Front Street, Media PA 19063.
Once you are enrolled and approved for the Homestead exclusion, you will not need to apply again unless you move or sell your property or your current property is not your main residence.
