HB 1875 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of June 24, 1931 (P.L.1206, No.331), known as The First Class Township Code, in finance and taxation, further providing for tax levies.

HB 1875 amends Pennsylvania's First Class Township Code to increase tax rate limits for general township taxes from three mills to ten mills and for emergency services taxes (ambulance/rescue) from half a mill to five mills. Township boards must now seek voter approval via referendum if either tax exceeds these new limits. The changes apply to all first-class townships, except those designated as "eligible" under the Fiscal Code. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
