Real Estate Taxes to Collegeville Borough, current rate is 8.55 mils
Proceeds from the real estate tax is divided between general purpose (7.2 mils) and Fire Services (1.0 mils) and Ambulance Services (.35 mils). To compute this tax, the assessment is multiplied by the millage rate, then divided by 1000. Proceeds from this tax to the Borough are about $1,900,000, $250,000 to the Fire Company, and $80,000 form EMS services per year.
By law, all properties in Montgomery County are reassessed at the same time. The last such reassessment was in 1998. The assessment is based on the fair market value of the property at the date of the assessment. Each year, the county releases a factor which can be applied to the assessment to compute the current fair market value. If you believe this valuation is too high, an appeal can be made to the Montgomery County Board of Assessment Appeals in Norristown – phone number 610-278-3761.
