Looking to try and save more money? Here's another tip for owners of Havertown Homes.
Make sure to make an application of the Homestead/Farmstead Exclusion Program before March 1st! This program provides reductions to the school tax base depending on revenues the state generates from gambling proceeds. If your home is approved for this program, you can receive a reduction in your local school tax bill.
How Do I Find out if I Qualify?
Its all automated and a very quick step-by-step process. You'll just need to enter your address and see if you are able to receive the discount. Here is the link you'll want to click on to get started from the Delaware County Website:

Where do I get an Application?
You must contact your local school district administration offices to request a form. The application needs to be completed by March 1st, so don't wait. Once you've made the request, the School District requests the form from the County and then sends it directly to your Havertown home. This process does take a couple weeks.
Haverford School District Tax Office: 610-853-5916
Good Luck! If you have any further questions let me know.
