Taxes and Fees


 
The Borough tax rate for 2023 is 3.74 mills. To calculate your annual taxes, divide your assessment by 1,000 and multiply by the millage rate.  

 Example for a house assessed at $400,000: 
 400,000/1,000 x 3.40 = $1,360.00
The Borough charges $430.00 annually for collection of trash.
  
Sewer fees are based on the water usage for the last quarter of 2020 and first three quarters of 2021, as reported to the Borough by AQUA. The annual fee for 2022 is $9.40 for each thousand of gallons of water used.
Borough taxes and fees are mailed February 1 of each year. Taxes and fees paid before March 31 will receive a 2% discount. Taxes and fees paid after May 31st are subject to a 10% penalty.
