Eligible Pennsylvanians can now apply for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) program. The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue is accepting applications for rebates on property taxes or rent paid in 2025.
The Governor and Secretary of Revenue Pat Browne are reminding eligible applicants that the PTRR program provides real financial relief to seniors, widows and widowers, and people with disabilities — especially after the expansion of the program.
The expansion increased the maximum standard rebate to $1,000 (up from the prior $650 maximum), raised income eligibility limits for homeowners and renters, and tied the income limits to cost-of-living adjustments. Thanks to this change, the income limit for rebate applicants is now $48,110 — an increase of more than $1,500 from last year.
“Since the expansion of the program, we’ve seen thousands of additional residents receive rebates that help ease the burden of rising costs. This program is about giving people the support they need to stay in their homes and maintain stability. If you think you might be eligible, now is the time to apply for a rebate that could make a real difference for you and your family,” said Secretary Browne.
As of this week, the Department of Revenue has processed approximately 511,000 rebates totaling $314 million for Pennsylvanians who submitted an application for a rebate on property taxes or rent paid in 2024. That total will increase as rebate applications that were received late in the prior claim year are processed for payment.
Based on the latest data from the past two years, the expansion of the PTRR program has already opened the door for approximately 165,000 first-time filers to receive a rebate for the very first time. Additionally, based on a recent DOR analysis, the expansion has increased the average rebate for repeat filers to nearly 21 percent of the rent or property tax paid by each filer. That’s up from nearly 16 percent in the year prior to the expansion.
The deadline to submit an application for a rebate on property taxes or rent paid in 2025 is June 30, 2026. Pennsylvanians can visit pa.gov/ptrr to find information on the program and learn how to apply.
The PTRR program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians age 65 and older; widows and widowers age 50 and older; and people with disabilities age 18 and older. The table below shows the maximum rebate for homeowners and renters who fit this criteria are eligible for, depending on their income in 2025:
| INCOME | MAX STANDARD REBATE |
| $0 – $8,550 | $1,000 |
| $8,551 – $16,040 | $770 |
| $16,041 – $19,240 | $460 |
| $19,241 – $48,110 | $380 |
