What you'll pay, at a glance

Property taxes are the largest local tax most homeowners pay. The effective rate measures the real tax bill as a share of home value — a more useful number than the nominal “mill rate,” because assessment practices vary county to county.

How this is calculated

The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.

About Warren County, PA

Warren County’s effective property tax rate of 1.323% sits above Pennsylvania’s statewide median of 1.269%, placing it 25th among the state’s 67 counties. That ranking puts the county slightly above the middle of the pack within Pennsylvania, though the gap with the state figure is narrow. Against the national median of 0.794%, however, Warren County’s rate is markedly higher — roughly two-thirds again as steep. The practical effect shows up in the median annual tax bill of $1,687 on a home valued at $127,500, set against a median household income of $60,480 and per-capita income of $33,371. Communities such as Chandlers Valley, Clarendon, and Irvine fall within the county’s borders. What this signals is a local property tax load that is close to ordinary for Pennsylvania but well above what much of the country pays.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Warren County, PA?
The effective rate is 1.32% — meaning the median tax bill equals about 1.32% of the median home value.
How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($127,500), the estimated annual bill is about $1,687.
Is Warren County's rate high or low?
Compare it to the state median of 1.27% and the national average near 1.1%.
How does the effective rate differ from my mill rate?
A mill rate is the nominal levy per $1,000 of assessed value. The effective rate reflects what you actually pay after exemptions and assessments — it's the median tax bill as a share of median home value, so it better predicts your real cost.
Will a reassessment raise my tax bill?
Not necessarily. If your home's assessed value rises, your bill can go up, but only if the mill rate and exemptions stay flat. Contact the Warren County assessor's office to review your current assessment.
Can I appeal my property tax assessment?
Yes. Most counties allow an appeal when you believe the assessed value exceeds the market value. File with the Warren County assessor within the local deadline, typically with comparable sales as evidence.
