Three bills. Three offices. County-published millage.
Bucks County property owners receive separate county, municipal, and school district tax bills. The rates below
are transcribed from the county's official millage sheet and apply to a property's county assessed value —

Estimated annual total
Estimate only: assessed value × mills ÷ 1,000 per layer, before the homestead exclusion or
any interim adjustments. The county bill is what the offices say it is, not what a website computes.
The county's strongest commuter access — I-95, Route 1, and SEPTA rail — paired with entry-point pricing and established neighborhoods.
Buyer framing (curated): I-95 and SEPTA corridors reward commuters. Bensalem, Falls, Newtown, and Yardley each carry different tax and school profiles — entry value with real tradeoffs.
Assessment, deed, parcel, and municipal contact checks belong in every serious housing decision. These links route to official or curated public-source hubs — not secondary aggregators.
Production housing intelligence means honest gaps — not filler. These items still need official source input or licensed data before they can be published as facts.

Roads
Lincoln Highway (US 1 Business)
The borough's main street is the old Lincoln Highway — services and takeout in a straight, walkable line.
Penndel is a working borough on the old Lincoln Highway with one big practical asset: the
Langhorne Regional Rail station essentially next door, making it one of the cheapest
walk-to-train addresses in Bucks County. The housing stock is modest and close-set, and the
main street is more functional than quaint.
That combination — Neshaminy schools, rail access, and entry-level borough pricing — makes
Penndel a first-time-buyer staple. Buyers comparing it to Langhorne Borough next door are
mostly paying the difference for Langhorne’s historic streetscape; the commute from either
is the same train.
