Every buyer, seller, homeowner, and investor needs county, municipal, and school tax context before trusting the monthly number.
Bucks County property taxes have three layers: county, municipal, and school district. County and municipal charges may be billed together; school taxes follow a separate billing schedule. Budget for all three layers and check the collector named on each bill for due dates, discounts, and penalties. Mortgage principal and interest plus county tax alone understate the cost.
Transcribed from the county's official sheet: municipal millage (2026), school district millage (2026–2027 school year), and the countywide rate of 29.65 mills (2026). Rates apply to a property's county assessed value — a fraction of market value — not its sale price.

Source: Bucks County Board of Assessment — 2026 Millage Rates (sheet dated 7/1/2026). Retrieved 2026-09-24. Telford Borough's school tax is billed through Souderton Area SD on Montgomery County assessments — confirm with the district. Millage rates are provided by local taxing authorities. Verify with the Board of Assessment, your municipal tax collector, and your school district before relying on any figure.
Enter a property's county assessed value — from the county property search, not the listing price — and pick the municipality. The estimate is assessed value × mills ÷ 1,000 per layer, using the county-published rates above. It excludes any homestead exclusion, interim assessments, and non-millage charges (trash, sewer, per-capita taxes).
Estimates only — bills also depend on homestead status, discount/penalty periods, and any interim assessment. Verify with the Board of Assessment and your tax collectors before budgeting.
Each layer of Bucks County housing intelligence connects to the next. Use these entry points before you act on a single number.

For most homeowners, the school district portion is the largest tax layer. Millage rates vary by district — Central Bucks, Council Rock, and Pennsbury carry different school tax burdens even for similar home values.
Start with your municipality profile on BucksCountyHousing.com, then verify current rates with the Board of Assessment and your municipal tax office. Rates change; always confirm before closing or refinancing.
Pennsylvania allows a homestead exclusion that can reduce your assessed value for school tax purposes. Application is through the Bucks County Board of Assessment. If you occupy the home as your primary residence, review eligibility each year.
