  • City of Hazleton 2026 Budget Presentation

    Hazleton, PA
    Budget

    The City of Hazleton's 2026 Budget Proposal, presented November 13, 2025, recommends a real estate tax increase of 2.308 mils, representing a 25.3% increase, driven primarily by a projected $1,016,204 drop in total revenue and a 16.2% increase in healthcare costs exceeding $800,000. The revenue decline stems from a $300,000 reduction in PPT tax collections due to overpayment recovery, a $252,204 decrease in miscellaneous revenues including reduced GSC commission reimbursement, and an unresolved funding arrangement with the HCA following the end of their previous agreement in 2024. The proposed millage breakdown allocates 10.49 mils to the General Fund, 0.19 mils to the recreation fund, and 0.76 mils to the Debt Service Fund, with debt service remaining level despite the city's 2018 borrowing final payment of $102,000 occurring in 2026. Additional cost pressures include normal contractual pay increases and increased funding needs for legal and engineering support expenses.
