Your tax payments support education and public services in Westmoreland County–and are vital to our community’s well-being and growth.

The tax process has two parts, assessment and billing, that are handled by two different County offices:

• The Commissioner of the Revenue assesses real estate and personal property, determines eligibility for tax relief and processes state tax returns.
• The Treasurer collects Westmoreland County real estate and personal property taxes.

How Taxes Are Assessed

The Commissioner of the Revenue assesses real estate and personal property taxes as of January 1 of each year. If you have a question about the assessed value of your real estate or personal property, contact the Commissioner of the Revenue:
