Taxes and assessments
Radnor Township is entirely in Delaware County, which completed a countywide reassessment that took effect in 2021. Tax bills combine county, township and Radnor Township School District taxes on the assessed value; look up the current figures for the specific parcel.
Historic and estate properties
Radnor has a long history of country estates, and many survive as houses, institutions or parks, such as The Willows and Chanticleer. Some older houses are on township historic inventories, and parts of Wayne are in a local historic district with design review. Check before planning exterior changes or demolition.
Rental and investment notes
Villanova University and Eastern University shape rental demand in parts of the township. Radnor requires rental licensing and has rules on occupancy; confirm them, and whether a multi-unit use is permitted, before you buy.
