Hilltown Township – No Increase Planned for Real Estate Property Tax Rates

Hilltown Township supervisors met recently to discuss the 2018 budget. Supervisor Chairman Jack McIlhinney presented the proposed spending plan that keeps the municipal property tax rate at 8.75 mills. This will be the seventh year in a row that Hilltown did not raise the municipal real estate property tax rate. A mill is a tax of $1 for every $1,000 in assessed property value. A Hilltown home assessed at $40,000 pays $350 in municipal property taxes at the current tax rate. The budget is scheduled to be finalized at the public meeting on Monday, Nov. 13.
