With property tax reassessment underway in Lackawanna County, a program will give some residents temporary property tax breaks if their taxes rise. Lackawanna County Commissioners passed requirements for the program which would give those who own and live in a single family home an opportunity to appeal and keep the taxes the same, at least temporarily. It would only apply if the reassessment increased their county only property taxes by at least 20percent among other stipulations. The reassessment tax bills will not appear until 2026.
