Norristown eyes tax increase Montgomery County
Norristown Municipality has advertised its proposed 2026 budget, which includes a property tax increase to help close a $1.69 million funding gap. The plan raises the millage rate from 18.25 mills to 19.25 mills. The increase could cost the average single unit property owner about $69 more per year and generate roughly $887,000 in additional revenue, with funds allocated to the general budget, fire services and EMS. Officials also plan to use $790,000 from the municipality’s fund balance to address a one-time pension cost increase. The proposed $47.2 million budget reflects rising personnel and operating costs, expanded staffing and major capital projects totaling nearly $75.7 million, including a new fire station and recreation center. Council is expected to vote on the budget on Tuesday, Dec. 2, at Municipal Hall, 235 E. Airy St. Visit the Norristown website for more information.
