Tax Rebate Information for Qualified Residents (2026)

The Lower Merion Board of School Directors has approved a program under which qualified senior citizens who live in Lower Merion Township and Narberth Borough can apply for a partial rebate of the amount they are paying for Lower Merion School District property taxes.

Applicants for this rebate must FIRST meet the qualifications set by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's PA-1000 Property/Tax Rent Rebate Program and complete the filing process for that rebate.

Once that payment from the Commonwealth is received, then you can complete the steps below.

To get the LMSD rebate, qualified individuals need to complete the application form completely and mail it with supporting documentation to:
