Excluded means the property is approved for the homestead/farmstead exclusion, giving it the homestead relief discount on its school property tax bill. Not excluded means county records show no such approval. Unknown means the property hasn't yet been matched to Chester County's homestead/farmstead tax file.
Assessment distribution
Every residential and commercial parcel's assessment among 3,270 parcels, sorted from lowest to highest.
Tax-exempt properties (schools, government buildings, and other nonprofits) are excluded from this chart because their assessments don't reflect private residential or commercial property value.
