Where to get help
City and County property-tax questions go to different offices. City inspection and rental programs are also address- and use-specific, so confirm the current process with the City before relying on it for a particular house.
The City Tax Office distributes and collects City property taxes. The office is at City Hall, 40 East Market Street. Start here for a City tax question.
The County tax-collection page identifies County-tax collection for Wilkes-Barre. Use it for a County tax question rather than a City property-tax question.
The City describes Buyer Notification and Occupancy Inspections as Code Enforcement programs. Ask the City which current steps and status apply to the exact address; this page does not determine an inspection result or transfer eligibility.
The City provides a residential rental-license and inspection application. Confirm directly with the City which process applies to the property and its use.
The County routes property research, tax-sale information, and delinquent-payment questions to its tax-claim portal. Check the notice and parcel record for the actual balance or sale status.
The City flood-protection page links to elevation certificates on file. Check the City records for an address-specific question; this page makes no flood-zone or elevation determination.
You can start with the address and what you know about the house. We give written cash offers in 24 hours, provide the written offer and terms before you commit, and close through a title company. Call or use the form to talk through your Wilkes-Barre or Luzerne County property.
