Supervisors will still have to vote on the budget next month, but property owners in Pennsbury Township won’t face a tax increase if the plan is approved.
Township Manager Kathy Howley gave a brief rundown on the proposed 2023 budget during the Board of Supervisors' Nov. 16 meeting, saying the millage rate would remain at 1.49 mils. (A mil is a tax of $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property value.)
It's a balanced budget with revenues and expenses projected at $1,745,550, with the real estate property tax counting for $290,000 on the revenue side. Other local taxes account for $1,085,000. Franchise agreements, fines and interest, rents and royalties, grants, permits and fees, and sanitation and hydrants make up the rest.
Fire and ambulance services account for the largest part of the expenses. That totals $464,937. Public works come in second at $241,623. Legislative, executive, and administrative costs — salaries and benefits – add another $400,000 to the expense side of the ledger.
The full budget — as advertised —can be found here.
Supervisors are scheduled to vote on the budget during their Dec. 14 meeting at 5 p.m.
