Supervisors amend and approve per-bill tax-collection fee
Summary
Williams Township amended a proposed increase in the tax-collection per-bill fee and approved raising it to $1.50 per bill (amendment adopted by voice vote); board discussion referenced historical comparisons to earlier years' collections.
The board considered a resolution to change the tax-collection fee paid per bill and after discussion amended the increase from $1.00 to $1.50 per bill. Supervisor (speaker 8) presented historical figures—citing earlier collections that exceeded $20,000—and argued the higher per-bill charge would better reflect workload and costs. The board amended the motion, voted and adopted the resolution by voice vote.
Discussion noted estimated per-bill totals mentioned in the meeting (one exchange referenced a resulting per-bill total of $5.50), and the solicitor offered to supply corrected resolution language for the minutes after the vote.
Why it matters: the per-bill fee affects the tax collector's compensation and may change the cost borne by property owners for tax-collection services.
What happens next: the solicitor will provide corrected resolution language to be included with the adopted resolution.
