Real Estate Tax
Real estate tax is based on the current assessed value of your property multiplied by the current millage rate. The Borough’s millage rate for 2024 is 3.03.
For example, if the assessed value of your property is $185,000, your annual Borough real estate taxes would be $560.55. The millage rate is determined by the Borough Council and adopted by Ordinance as part of the Borough’s budget by December 31st of each year. Your tax dollars help support 24-hour a day police services/safety protection, public works department services, parks/recreation, and general operating expenses.
Strasburg Borough real estate tax bills will be mailed at the end of February each year. If you do not receive your bill by March 10th, please call the borough office. A 2% discount is offered during the months of February, March and April; the base period includes the months of May and June; and a 10% penalty applies for payments received after June 30th. The real estate taxing period is based on the current calendar year (January to December). Taxes are due by January 6th of the following year and unpaid current-year taxes are turned over to the Lancaster County Tax Claims Bureau on January 10th. If your taxes are paid by your mortgage company, it is your responsibility to forward your tax notice to your mortgage company.
** IF YOU ARE PAYING YOUR TAX BILL AT THE BOROUGH OFFICE AND YOU WOULD LIKE A RECEIPT, PLEASE BE SURE TO BRING YOUR ENTIRE TAX BILL WITH YOU!

Local Service Tax (LST)
In 2022 the Borough Council voted to implement the Local Service Tax (LST) that many municipalities have been collecting for years.
LST is collected from persons who work in Strasburg Borough and have a net income of $12,000.00 or more per year. The tax is $52.00 a year and is deducted directly from payroll by your employer or, if self-employed, will need to be remitted to Lancaster County Tax Collection Bureau (LCTCB).
