The City of Cambria Real Estate tax bills is mailed annually on or around 1st day of April each calendar year. The due dates are as follows (due dates may vary to comply with city ordinance): Discount Amount (Discount 2%) due by May 31. Face Amount due by August 1. 

Proceeds from the Cambria County Personal Property Tax are used locally to fund school districts, public transport, infrastructure, and other municipal government projects. Property tax income is almost always used for local projects and services and does not go to the federal or state budget.

Unlike other taxes that are restricted to an individual, the Cambria County Property Tax is levied directly on the property. Unpaid property tax can lead to a property tax lien, which remains attached to the property's title and is the responsibility of the current owner of the property. Tax liens are not affected by transferring or selling the property or even filing for bankruptcy. Property tax delinquency can result in additional fees and interest, which are also attached to the property title.

In cases of extreme property tax delinquency, the Cambria County Tax Board may seize the delinquent property and offer it for sale at a public tax foreclosure auction, often at a price well under market value. Proceeds of the sale first go to pay the property's tax lien, and additional proceeds may be remitted to the original owner.
