One Pennsylvania Town with A Big Tax Increase!

If you think your taxes are high, think again. As the old saying goes, ‘it could always be worse.’ Residents of one cash strapped Pennsylvania town will see their property taxes go up by a whopping 50%. Newville Borough is in Cumberland County, and in addition to the big tax increase, the town is cutting one of its 3 police positions too. On Thursday, Newville Borough Council passed a 2024 budget that will also quadruple the earned income tax. It all means that the average Newville resident with a median salary of $47,143 will now have to pay an extra $707 per year in payroll taxes and about $128 more per year in real estate taxes.
