It is the taxpayer’s responsibility to make sure bills are received and paid. Please contact Berkheimer if you have not received your bill by July 7th.

A school real estate tax bill for each property is mailed to the last known postal address of the taxpayer. Tax bills are not mailed to any mortgage company. Berkheimer works with several tax servicing companies who may obtain tax billing information for your property. Contact your mortgage company to find out if you need to forward your bill to them for payment. Many mortgage companies do not pay interim bills. Before you send an interim bill to your mortgage company contact them for their policy on payment of interim bills.

Payments are tracked throughout the year and a lien list is prepared of all unpaid taxes that is sent to the County by January 15th for the prior year. After the lien list is prepared, taxpayers must pay their delinquent taxes at their county Tax Claim Bureau:

Chester County Tax Claim Bureau- 610-344-6360

Delaware County Tax Claim Bureau- 610-891-4284

School District Code
West Chester Area School District code for income tax purposes is 15900.
