No se quede afuera, todos los propietarios califican para un plan de pago OOPA

Philadelphia, PALocal News

Homeowners in Philadelphia can benefit from the Owner-Occupied Payment Agreement (OOPA), which facilitates manageable monthly payments for property taxes. Applicants typically base their payments on household size and income, but they have the option to factor in household expenses, potentially leading to lower monthly amounts. The Department of Revenue has the authority to reject any expenses deemed unreasonable. Property tax bills from 2025 that remain unpaid accumulate a monthly interest charge of 1. 5%, emphasizing the need for prompt action.

OOPA safeguards homes from sheriff's sales, provided that homeowners adhere to payment schedules. New applicants can access a digital application that simplifies the process, with interactive forms available online. They can also apply in person at municipal service centers or send applications via email or postal mail. This program is vital for homeowners needing assistance, especially in a challenging economic environment.
