MEMORANDUM

Posted: June 29, 2023 10:19 AM
From: Representative Thomas H. Kutz
To: All House members
Subject: Active Duty Military Realty Transfer Tax Exemption
 
Dear Colleagues,

In the near future I plan on introducing legislation that will exempt active duty military personnel from the Reality Transfer Tax if they move to or within Pennsylvania as the result of changing posts. 

Serving in the military requires individuals and families to regularly move across the country and often necessitates buying a new home at every post where they are stationed. Military families should not be penalized every time they change posts by paying a tax for moving homes as a result of their service.

Therefore, I will be introducing legislation exempting service members from the Reality Transfer Tax upon submission of their final orders showing that they will be stationed in Pennsylvania or a post close to the state.

Please join me in sponsoring this important legislation to help our active duty military families. 
 


Introduced as HB1583
