Property Tax Alert: Pennsylvania

May 2004

An argument that a public utility’s service center, which contained truck storage, loading bays, service and warehouse-related storage, and related training and office space, was not used in the furnishing of public utility services, was without merit. The service center that provided local electric installation and services qualified as "utility realty" under the Public Utility Realty Tax Act and was, therefore, exempt from Pennsylvania local property tax.
