Uwchlan Township officials unveiled a 2026 draft budget that proposes the community’s first real estate tax increase in nearly two decades, citing an $854,000 projected deficit driven largely by a steep drop in earned-income tax revenue from one of the township’s biggest employers. The plan raises general, hydrant and utility rates, adds a new fire tax, and increases trash and sewer fees to cover rising costs and long-deferred infrastructure needs, while keeping Uwchlan’s overall millage among the lowest in Chester County. The township has a dedicated page for information on the proposed budget. Supervisors will review and discuss the budget at their next meeting on Monday, Dec. 8, at 7 p.m. at the township building, 715 N. Ship Road, Exton.
