Upper Providence Township officials will present the final 2026 proposed budget on Tuesday, Nov. 18, with adoption scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 16. The $9.66 million spending plan includes a 12.6% reduction in the overall real estate tax millage rate — from 2.399 to 2.1 mills — thanks to higher-than-expected earned income tax revenue, projected at $4.2 million for 2026. Expenditures are budgeted at $9.45 million, leaving a $213,682 surplus and a projected year-end fund balance of $2.64 million. It should be noted Upper Providence’s real estate transfer tax is the highest in the county (1.5% to the township, 0.5% to the school district, and 1% to the state).
