The state Education Department has released more detailed estimates of how much property-tax relief Pennsylvania homeowners will receive from slot-machine gambling this year.
Homeowners who live in poorer districts with higher tax rates will receive the biggest tax breaks. The estimated amounts per homeowner range from $54 in the Dallas Area School District near Wilkes-Barre to $623 in the Chester-Upland School District near Philadelphia.
Estimates arenát available yet for 48 of the stateás 501 school districts.
State officials said last month that Pennsylvania will distribute $612 million for the tax cuts ä enough to reduce school property taxes by 10 percent. That could mean an average reduction of $169 for the owner of a home or farm.
