About This Tool

This tool extracts parcel data from Clarion County's public parcel viewer map to compare two numbers: how many properties are currently enrolled in the Clean & Green program versus how many appear to be eligible but haven't signed up.  All of the underlying data is already publicly available through the county's parcel viewer website — we simply built a way to pull it into a downloadable CSV for easier analysis.
One important caveat: because the county hasn't published the exact criteria used to determine Clean & Green eligibility, our eligibility estimates may include some false positives. Take those numbers as a reasonable approximation rather than a definitive count.

A Note on the Data

This tool provides the raw data — interpreting it will require some comfort with Excel or similar spreadsheet software. If you'd prefer to have the analysis done for you, we're happy to help.

Why This Matters

The gap between eligible and enrolled properties is more than just a statistic — it has real financial consequences for every taxpayer in the district.
Here's the problem: when a school district sets its millage rate for a given year, it factors in the revenue it expects to forgo from Clean & Green discounts. If few or no eligible property owners enroll that first year, the district sets its rates based on that low enrollment — essentially budgeting without those discounts in the picture.
Now imagine a large number of those eligible properties sign up in year two. The district is now obligated to give out significantly more in discounts than it planned for, but it cannot go back and adjust the prior year's millage to compensate. That revenue is simply gone.
To make up for it, the district's most likely response is to raise taxes — meaning the property owners who did everything right and enrolled on time end up paying more to offset the shortfall created by late enrollments. In short, low first-year participation doesn't just hurt the district's budget; it shifts the tax burden onto the people who followed the rules.
