Act 29 of 2026 is a Pennsylvania law (HB 858) that creates a unified county‑maintained contact registry for non‑owner‑occupied properties, effective September 18, 2026 — Property Owner Contact Information Form Act 29
 

Purpose:  The law, signed July 20, 2026, amends Title 68 (Real and Personal Property) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to require certain property owners and entities to provide the county assessment office with up‑to‑date contact information for non‑owner‑occupied properties. The goal is to combat community blight by ensuring municipalities can reach responsible parties for property maintenance and code compliance.  The law applies to non‑owner‑occupied real property in Pennsylvania counties. Owner‑occupied principal residences are exempt.  Non-owner-occupied parcels must list a designated person or employee authorized to repair, maintain, or resolve municipal code violations including name, address, phone number, and email.  Initial information must be provided within 30 days of ownership or entity responsibility.  Updates must be submitted within 30 days of any change.  County assessment offices will maintain and provide access to the list as permitted by law.  Failure to comply or provide accurate information can result in a $500 fine. 

Annual Appeal Information – When needed, hearings for valuation and exemption appeals are conducted on Thursdays in the Courthouse Assembly Room commencing at 1:00 P.M. unless otherwise stated.
