Governor Shapiro's expansion of the PTRR program delivered the largest targeted tax cut for Pennsylvania seniors in nearly two decades - and is one of seven tax cuts he has made since taking office to help ease the burden on seniors, families, and businesses.
More than 512,000 seniors, widows and widowers, and people with disabilities received rebates totaling $314 million after submitting PTRR applications last year.
The Department of Revenue is now accepting applications for rebates on property taxes or rent paid in 2025. Learn more at pa.gov/ptrr.
