Hatboro Holds Line on Taxes

The Hatboro Borough Council adopted its 2013 budget this week.

Hatboro residents could see higher taxes next year from the Hatboro-Horsham School District, but the borough has kept its municipal tax for 2013 flat.

On Monday night the Hatboro Borough Council unanimously adopted its $4.6 million 2013 budget, which maintains the current 7.878 millage rate.

The spending plan reflects a .64 percent increase in the general fund, while cutting "non-employee related expenses" to 2010 actual expenses, according to Councilman Vincent LaSorsa.

In addition to maintaining the existing millage rate, LaSorsa said previously that he "rearranged" some of the borough's taxes. LaSorsa said the amounts for fire protection and debt service were increased, while the general fund rate was reduced.
