Nether Providence Commissioners have proposed a 6.7% increase in Nether Providence Township taxes for 2013. The new millage rate will be set at 4.68 mills, up from 4.37 mills in 2012. For every $1,000 of assessed value residents will pay $4.68 in township taxes. The proposal will be voted upon on either December 13 or December 20.
The Police Department is the largest component of the Township’sudget, accounting for an amount just over $2 million of a total budget of $6.1 million. A 38% climb in police pension costs was a factor in the proposed tax hike.
The township’s annual sewer rate will increase to $342 per household, an increase of $42 in the current levy. This increase is in anticipation of higher costs that will be passed on by DELCORA, the county authority responsible for sewer waste handling.
