Levied locally in New York: local assessors set assessed values (final assessment rolls published in most towns July 1), and school districts and municipalities bill on that value — rates vary widely by locality. STAR and senior/veterans/disability exemptions can lower the bill; assessments can be contested (grievance, then small-claims review by July 31).

- PennsylvaniaInfo
Pennsylvania levies no state property tax; real estate is taxed by local districts (counties, municipalities, and school districts) on county-assessed values. The State Tax Equalization Board (STEB) sets each county's Common Level Ratio of assessed value to market value, used in assessment appeals and to equalize values for state education funding.
