The elected tax collector
is responsible for the collection of the School, County, and Township
Real Estate taxes.
Real Estate taxes for the
township and County are levied for the calendar year January 1 to
December 31.
The Methacton School District taxes are levied for the fiscal period
July 1 to June 30. These tax bills are received on or about July 1 each
year.
The tax rate for
Township real estate taxes will remain at .05 mills. A mill is $1
per $1,000 of assessed value. The owner of a property assessed at
$200,000, will continue to pay $10.00 for the Township portion of
their real estate taxes as of 2010. This rate has not increased
since its inception due to vigilant financial watchdogs over past
years.

Earned
Income Tax (EIT)
In addition to the Real Estate Tax, the township
collects an Earned Income Tax (EIT). The EIT is
revenue received under Act 511 from tax dollars
levied upon wages, salaries, commissions, net
profits of other compensation of the residents of
the Methacton School District.
The
EIT is
collected by
Berkheimer Tax Administrator,
a professional collection firm, under contract by
the municipality and school district.
The earned income tax rate in
the Methacton School District is 1%. Of this 1%,
Worcester Township collects ˝ of 1% - with the
remainder going to Methacton School District. All
Methacton School District residents are required to
file a Local Earned Income Tax return whether or not
the tax is withheld, taxes are due, a refund is due,
or even if you have no earned income.
Real Estate Transfer Tax
Transfer tax is levied under Act 511 at the rate of one half
of one percent (.5%) of the value on the transferring of real estate or
interest in real property situated within the boundaries of the School
District. |
