Dear New Stanton Borough Property Owner,

If your property is mortgaged with an escrow account, please promptly send or deliver this tax notice to your financial institution and monitor for payment from your escrow account. This method best “informs and protects” the property owner(s) and also permits financial institutions the flexibility to receive a duplicate tax notice. Please promptly notify Westmoreland County Tax Office of address changes using the form on the their website. Here is the link to the form: https://www.co.westmoreland.pa.us/DocumentCenter/View/26/address_chg_req?bidId=

Note: Property tax payments not received and/or post-marked by December 31st are turned over to Westmoreland County as required.

Please make check payable to Heather Clawson, Tax Collector for the exact tax amount due and mail to:
Heather Clawson, Tax Collector - P.O. Box 328 - New Stanton, PA 15672
Note: Payments are accepted by Check or Money Order ONLY [No cash] and must be received and/or postmarked by the “due date”. A separate check is required for each property tax as listed: (1) County-Local payment(s) (2) School payment(s) (3) Each Supplemental Tax [blue] payment(s). **If you elect to receive a paid receipt, please include a self-addressed stamped envelope**

Please remit separate checks for:
1) County-Local Tax Payments; 2) School Tax Payments; 3) Each Supplemental Tax Payment; 4) Duplicate Tax Notice Fee.

For your convenience, financial institutions may pay multiple property taxes by category using one check so long as a list is provided itemizing the property owner name, parcel id, address, and amount of payment.

School Real Estate Tax Installment Plan
For the real estate tax levied by the School District, other than interim real estate tax, taxpayers may elect an installment payment option under the following rules:

Installment Payment Dates: A taxpayer electing the installing payment option may pay the real estate tax in three (3) equal installment payments of one-third (1/3) of the full tax amount. The installments are due on or before September 30, October 31 and November 30 of the year which the tax is levied. Any installments not paid by these dates is delinquent.
Taxpayer election of Installment payment option: Payment of the first installment by September 30 will constitute taxpayer election to pay tax installments. Installment payment is permitted only if the taxpayer elects by paying the first installment in full by September 30. If the taxpayer fails to meet this requirement, the full amount of the real estate tax is due on or before November 30 and the real estate is delinquent if not paid on or before November 30.
No Discount: No discount applies to installment payments.
Penalty on delinquent installments: If a taxpayer makes the first installment payment by September 30 and fails to pay in full any subsequent installment by the due date, the installment not paid by the due date is delinquent and a penalty will be added to the tax in the amount of ten percent [10%] of the amount of the installment not paid by the installment due date, without regard to any partial payment of the installment.
Effective date: This plan became effective July 1, 2012 and will continue in effect thereafter for the real estate taxes levied for the school year beginning July 1, 2012 and for real estate taxes levied for future tears until amended or repealed.
