Jackson Township Tax Information
Understanding Taxes
Real Estate Taxes:
Real Estate Taxes are based on a millage
basis. In Jackson Township, 1 mill = $1.00 of tax
per every $1,000 of Real Estate Assessed Value. In
Cambria County, property values are based on 50% of the
assessed valuation. Therefore, if your assessed
real estate valuation is 40,000, this means that your
real estate has an assumed market value of $80,000.
On an assessed property of 40,000, one mill of tax would
be equal to $40.00.
Per Capita
Taxes
Per Capita Tax is a flat rate levied upon each
adult within the taxing district. This tax has no
connection with employment, income, voting rights or any
other factor except residence within the community.
In Jackson Township, the Township has a $5.00 Per Capita
Tax and Central Cambria School District has a $10.00 Per
Capita Tax. Jackson Township exempts those who are
over 65 years of age, widows between the ages of 50 and
65 and those who are on total disability from this
tax.
Earned Income Tax
This tax is the primary source of tax revenue
for Jackson Township. Jackson Township charges 1/2
% Earned Income Tax on those who are employed.
Central Cambria School District also charges 1/2 % to
complete the 1% EIT which is submitted to Berkheimer
Associates for processing and distribution.
Local Municipal Services Tax
The Local Municipal Services Tax (Formerly known as the Occupational Privilege
Tax) is $5.00 which is
assessed to those individuals who are physically working
or employed within Jackson Township.
