How do I change the mailing address that my
Township and County tax and sewer bills are sent to?
You must send or fax a letter authorizing the Township to change
the mailing address. Please forward this authorization to:
Towamencin Township, P.O. Box 303, Kulpsville, PA 19443 or fax to
the Tax Dept. (215) 368-6217. Please do not forget to note the
property location that the mailing address change pertains to.
I live in Towamencin Township, but work
elsewhere. Do I still have to pay the Earned Income Tax? (EIT)
Chances are, you are already paying the tax to the other
municipality where you work. Check your pay stub to be sure.
However, when Towamencin did not have the EIT, the municipality
where you work kept the tax you paid. Now, up to ˝ percent of what
you pay is returned to Towamencin Township. If your work in
Philadelphia, you pay the city's wage tax, and no portion of that is
returned to Towamencin, and you are exempt from having to pay the ˝
percent EIT to Towamencin Township as well. If you are not currently
paying an EIT, than you must now pay ˝ of 1 percent.

I got a sewer bill, but not a tax bill. Now
what?
The sewer and tax bills were sent in the same envelope. The
envelope was labeled in big red letters: TAX and SEWER BILLS
ENCLOSED.
When are these bills due?
The bills are due by June
30th of the current year. However, we
offer a 2% discount if you pay by April 30th. You have until June
30th to pay the bill with no penalties. Beginning July 1, penalties
are added to the total of your bill.
Tax payments not received by 12 noon on December 31, 2008 will be turned
over to Montgomery County. Sewer payments not received by 12:00 noon on
December 31, 2008 will result in a lien being placed against the property
and additional fees
or water shut-off procedures.
How do I obtain a Tax Certification?
Tax
certifications are handled through the Tax Collector's Office.
The cost for a tax certification is $25. Please put your
request in writing to Jim Geslak, P.O. Box 210, Kulpsville, PA
19443. Mr. Geslak can also be reached at (215) 368-8071,
or via email at
towamencintaxcollector@msn.com if you
should have any questions.
