Real Estate Taxes

How to Make a Tax Payment

There are several ways to make payment of your Concord Township and
Garnet Valley School District taxes.  They are as follows:

1. Mail your check and tax bill to the TD address indicated on your bill.  Checks sent to TD Bank without a tax bill will be rejected and delays in posting will be encountered.
   No electronic checks are to be mailed to TD Bank.
2. Hand deliver your check and tax bill to the Tax Collector on any of the dates indicated on the tax bill.
3. Place your check and tax bill in a sealed envelope and drop in the lockbox located in the Township Building lobby during the township's normal business hours.
4. Mail your check with tax bill to:  Tax Collector, 43 Thornton Rd, Glen Mills, PA 19342.
5. Make an appointment to drop off your payment to the Tax Collector. Allow a minimum of 3 days advanced notice.

Tax payments made by mail must be postmarked on or before December 31.

Concord Township staff
cannot offer any assistance with real estate tax payments.

Acceptable means of payment:

1. Check payable to Concord Township or Garnet Valley School District (in payment of Township or School taxes respectively).
2. Electronic check: the account field must reflect the folio number that appears on the tax bill.  Account fields reflecting anything other than folio number will be rejected.  (Electronic checks should be mailed to:  Tax Collector,
   43 Thornton Road, Glen Mills, PA 19342)

*ELECTRONIC CHECKS ARE NOT TO BE SENT TO TD BANK.*
THEY WILL BE REJECTED.

*Electronic checks are not to be used to pay township interim taxes, school interim taxes or school installment taxes.*

*Cash and credit cards are not accepted.* 

How to obtain a paid receipt:

1. When mailing your payment or depositing payment in the lockbox located in the township lobby, enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope with the original and a copy of the tax bill.  The copy will be stamped and returned to you.  You will need to make a copy of school installment bills and all interim bills.
2. Make your payment in person on any date indicated on the tax bill.

Request for Tax Certifications and Duplicate Bills

Taxing and escrow agencies requesting tax certs or duplicate bills must fax their request to 610-459-8917 with a copy of their check payable to “Concord Township“.  The request should clearly state the year(s) and jurisdiction (township and/or school).  The fee is $20 per year for each jurisdiction.  The request must also contain the e-mail address where the tax certification or duplicate bill will be sent. Tax certifications and duplicate bills will not be faxed or mailed.

The fee for rush orders, where a turnaround is desired within 72 hours of the request, is $50 per year for each jurisdiction.  In addition, copies of the request and payment check should be emailed to: taxcollector@concordtownship.org.

A research fee of $35 is required for each time the tax collector is requested by a third party company to research folio information.
