TOWANDA - Rep. Tina Pickett (R-Bradford/Sullivan/Susquehanna) recently announced the hours for her satellite offices in Sullivan and Susquehanna County and reminded residents that they can pick up forms for the state's Property Tax/Rent Rebate program at those locations during the month of March.
"For Susquehanna and Sullivan County residents who do not have Internet access, they can drop by my satellite office hours to pick up copies of the Property Tax/Rent Rebate application or to have their questions answered about the program," Pickett said. "Although private companies do offer to complete the applications for a fee, there is no need for anyone to pay for a service that my staff can help with at no charge."
Pickett's staff will be on hand to help constituents in Sullivan County from 10 a.m. until noon on Wednesday, March 5 and March 19, at the commissioners' office in the Sullivan County Courthouse in Laporte.
