Swatara Town Abolishes Property Tax Amid Revenue-Sharing Funds
Swatara township in Dauphin County voted to abolish the 4.3 mill property tax starting in 1973 to be offset by revenue-sharing funds amounting to about $154,000. The move affects 5,900 property owners and reduces annual bills from about $30 on the average home valued at $26,000. Local and state officials say few Pennsylvania townships can follow suit given financial reliance on the tax.
