Whitemarsh Township Says Incorrect Millage Rates Were Included On Latest Home Tax Bills

WHITEMARSH, PA — Property owners in the township are being made aware of a discrepancy showing up on the most recent real estate tax bills.

Whitemarsh Township announced on Tuesday that the most recent Montgomery County and municipal property tax bills that were mailed at the beginning of the month had an incorrect millage amount for the county portion of the tax bill.

The section on the tax bill listed as 'county real estate' reflected 3.632 mills when the actual millage should have been 3.923, meaning property owners will be on the hook for making up the difference.

The township stated that Berkheimer, the agency that is responsible for collecting taxes, will be sending out a second bill designed to make up the difference between the correct millage rate and the incorrect rate.

Real estate owners are responsible for paying both bills to Berkheimer, the township said.

The township and Berkheimer both apologized for the inconvenience.

Anyone with questions about the matter can contact Whitemarsh Township Finance Director Kevin Barron at 610-825-3535 ext. 2617.
