Williamsburg Borough Tax to Increase by $16.80 for $100,000 Property

A 0.168 millage increase is coming to borough property owners in 2020.

This increase was discussed during the Nov. 19 recessed meeting of the Williamsburg Borough. For an example, the estimated tax increase on a property assessed at $100,000 would be $16.80.

Borough councilmembers said that the reason to increase the tax millage was to pay debt incurred on a loan for the proposed S.R. 866 project which never occurred.

Councilmember Bruce Hamilton made a motion to advertise the millage increase with Councilman Ed Patterson seconding and the motion passed.
