    Budget

    Springfield Township, Montgomery County, PA proposes a balanced 2022 operating budget of $18,315,318 with a real estate tax rate of 4.516 mills and earned income tax rate of 1.0%, maintaining the same real estate tax rate as 2021 due to decreased pension obligations and workers compensation costs. Residential taxpayers will see no change in real estate taxes but will benefit from a $6.32 reduction in the annual refuse service fee (from $231.86 to $225.54), driven by decreased recycling processing costs despite increases in waste disposal fees. The Township continues to fund operations through traditional revenue sources including real estate tax, earned income tax, and a local services tax enacted in 2019, with anticipated additional revenues of $45,000 from the local services tax in 2022.
