The Springdale Township Commissioners adopted a budget of nearly $1.5 million for this year that includes no increase in property taxes.
The budget, which passed 5-0, keeps the tax rate at 6.5 mills. At that rate, the owner of a property assessed at $75,000, the township’s average property value, will owe $880 in real estate taxes, the same amount as last year.
The budget is $14,000 less than last year’s spending plan.
The largest expense is $250,000 to help fund the Allegheny Valley Regional Police Department. In 2019, commissioners approved merging the township’s police department with Cheswick’s to create the regional police department. Both municipalities contribute equally to the department’s budget.
