County millage 9.01 (2026) · school rates 2025-26 · effective rate = millage × Berks County's Common Level Ratio (32.10%, 2025 STEB), comparable across counties. Estimate only. Exact bills depend on the parcel's assessment and don't subtract homestead or farmstead exclusions, which lower the school portion for many owner-occupants. Try the calculator for any price point, or read the full Berks County property-tax breakdown.

Common questions
How are property taxes calculated in Reading, PA?
Annual tax = assessed value × (county + municipal + school millage) ÷ 1,000. Berks County assessments use a 1994 base year, so assessed values are far below market price; the state's Common Level Ratio (32.10% for Berks County) translates between the two. The school district portion is usually 60 to 75% of the bill.
What school district serves Reading?
Reading spans more than one school district: READING and OLEY VALLEY and ANTIETAM and SCHUYLKILL VALLEY and GOVERNOR MIFFLIN and EXETER TOWNSHIP and WILSON and CONRAD WEISER AREA and MUHLENBERG and WYOMISSING AREA. The district for a specific home is shown on each NookLocal listing.
Will my property taxes change when I buy in Reading?
Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale, so the seller's current assessment (and bill) usually carries over. But if a home's assessment sits far below what its sale price implies at the county's Common Level Ratio, the school district can appeal the assessment after closing. Every NookLocal listing runs that check automatically.
