Upper St. Clair Adopts 2025 Budget

UPPER ST. CLAIR — Upper St. Clair commissioners have approved the township's 2025, which will maintain the current tax rates for the 16th consecutive year.

The real estate tax rate will remain at 3.83 mills. The earned income tax rate will remain at 0.80 percent. The sanitary sewer rate multiplier was reduced from 1.68 to 1.64 to minimize the impact of the annual regional rate increase.

"Our staff has once again prepared a budget that holds tax rates steady while maintaining the high quality of service our residents expect,” township manager Manager Matthew Serakowski said in a news release.

"Despite continuing economic challenges, our staff remains committed to fiscally responsible operations with the objective of remaining financially prepared for the future.”

Upper St. Clair once again was recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association of the US & Canada (GFOA) during the year. The GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting was received for the 36th time.

The township also received its 16th consecutive GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. Upper St. Clair is one of only eight municipalities in the state to receive both awards.
