Dunmore Millage Reassessment Information

Types of Property Taxes

Property owners in Dunmore receive three tax bills (Borough, School, and County). The Borough Tax Collector issues the Borough and School Tax Bills, the county bill is issued by the county. Bills are based on the assessed values times the mills. A mill is a $1 tax on every $1,000 of assessed property value. The median residential assessed value in Dunmore is $10,000.

Borough Taxes

Borough tax bills are mailed at the beginning of February. They are based on the mills set by Borough Council at the end of the prior when they pass the budget. Depending on when the bill is paid you may be able to receive a discount.

School Taxes

School tax bills are mailed at the beginning of August. They are based on the mills set by Borough School Board mid-year when they pass the budget. Depending on when the bill is paid you may be able to receive a discount.

Bills that are not paid by the end of the applicable tax year are turned over to the Tax Claim Bureau, 123 Wyoming Avenue, Second Floor, Scranton, PA. 18503.

All Local Earned Taxes must be filed with Berkheimer Administrators from the year 2012 and moving forward. You may get filing forms via their website http://www.hab-inc.com or call them at 1-866-701-7206.

Methods to Pay Your Real Estate Taxes

Beginning in 2026, Dunmore Borough is updating how real estate tax payments are processed as a cost-saving measure for taxpayers. Following a retirement in the tax office, the elected Tax Collector designated Berkheimer, Inc. as Deputy Tax Collector rather than filling the position, allowing the Borough to avoid additional staffing costs while maintaining full service. This approach is used by many municipalities across Pennsylvania and results in long-term operational savings for residents. Please follow payment directions on the tax bill which include Berkheimer’s in person services located at the Marketplace at Steamtown. We are unable to process your payment at the borough building.  If a tax bill is brought to the borough building, it must be in a sealed envelope with the property owner and parcel number legibly written on the envelope. Drop off’s can only be accepted Monday-Friday, 10am-2pm and are to be placed in a drop box that will be forwarded to the Marketplace office. If your taxes are in escrow, please notify your lender of this change.

*This will apply to the School District Tax bill as well*
