Upper Uwchlan Township officials will consider adopting a new ordinance to establish a local services tax (LST). The proposed $52 annual tax, authorized under Pennsylvania’s Local Tax Enabling Act, would apply to anyone employed within the township starting Jan. 1, 2026, with exemptions available for individuals earning less than $12,000 annually. Township officials estimate the tax would generate about $200,000 in revenue to fund emergency services and road maintenance, collected through employer payroll deduction. The LST is applicable only to the payer’s primary job. The ordinance will be considered at a meeting on Monday, Nov. 17, at 7 p.m. at 140 Pottstown Pike in Chester Springs.
