If you answered yes to any of these questions, be sure to have them complete an oath of office in accordance with section 501 of the Second-Class Township Code. Before assuming the duties of office, newly elected and re-elected township supervisors must take an oath of office to support the Constitution of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and to perform the duties of office with fidelity.

Please be advised that in accordance with Section 501 of the Township Code, the oath of office must be administered by a notary public, district justice, or judge. A copy of the oath must also be filed with the township secretary before assuming the duties of the office. Clarion County Reassessment
The Clarion County reassessment project is expected to begin by June and culminate with a full reassessment. Properties will be valued as of January 1, 2024. The new countywide tax base will be used to levy real property taxes for 2025.
Real estate taxes are calculated for each property annually, based on the Fair Market Value at a given point in time, referred to as the base year. This base‐year value is used for assessments until a new base year is established by a countywide reassessment. The current base year for Clarion County assessments is 1975, as this is when the last countywide reassessment was completed. Clarion County has contracted with Vision Government Solutions to complete a reassessment project and to ensure that the values are fair and equitable. Additional information on the reassessment process will be available on Clarion County’s Reassessment website, https://www.vgsi/clarion-county-reassessment/. The website is expected to go live in the coming weeks. Questions about the reassessment project can be directed to the Clarion County Assessment Office at 814-226-4000.
