June 26 Green Phase Opening
Chester County is currently in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s green phase as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the restrictions being upheld during the green phase, Chester County Government and Courts are operating on limited services with many of our staff continuing to provide services and programs while working from home
The Tax Claim Bureau main listed number (610-344-6360) was re-activated on June 5. We ask that you continue to refrain from in-person delinquent tax lien payments and contact us by telephone to discuss possible payment arrangements.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Please continue to follow all CDC and PA Department of Health guidelines to help control the spread of COVID-19 during the green phase. A reminder of the guidelines to be followed during the green phase are found here: https://restorechestercounty.org/Regulations.cfm
