AARP Tax Aide volunteers are knowledgeable on the tax laws that apply to senior citizens.  Here are a few tax tips for senior citizens:

• Property tax rebates are available for homeowners over 65 with income of $35,000 or less.
• Renters over 65 may qualify for rebates if their income is less than $15,000.
• PA requires a tax return if your income (wages, interest, dividends etc.) are more than $33.00.
• If you purchased a new car or paid real estate taxes, your standard deduction will be increased without having to itemize.
• Many seniors qualify for tax forgiveness of Pennsylvania taxes owed.

There are six senior centers in Chester County - Coatesville Area Senior Center, Downingtown Area Senior Center, Kennett Area Senior Center, Oxford Area Senior Center, Phoenixville Area Senior Center, and West Chester Area Senior Center.  Each senior center is dedicated to supporting the independence and well-being of adults ages 60 and over.

Regional Resource Protection Plan
Northern Federation

The Federation of Northern Chester County Communities (the Northern Federation) has been addressing planning issues that transcend municipal boundaries since it was established in 1974. Municipalities in the Region have worked over the last three decades to increase protection of resources through their individual planning documents and ordinances, as well as working together to develop regional water resource plans and studies. Municipal protection efforts have been progressive and effective at the municipal level, however, until now the Northern Federation has not developed a plan for regional resource protection. <LEARN MORE>
