What Mt. Lebanon Municipality does

Mt. Lebanon Municipality is a first-class township in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, operating under a commission-manager form of government with five elected commissioners and an appointed Municipal Manager (Keith McGill). Incorporated on February 6, 1912 and originally part of the St. Clair townships, it now serves more than 34,000 residents across 14,000+ homes spread over six square miles of western Pennsylvania hills, immediately south of Pittsburgh. Its core services span public safety (an ISO Class 1 Fire Department, Police Department, and partnership with Medical Rescue Team South Authority for EMS), public works (weekly garbage collection and bi-weekly recycling for ~11,000 residential units, leaf collection, snow removal, forestry management of 10,000+ street trees, and maintenance of 160 miles of sanitary sewer and 75+ miles of storm sewer), parks and recreation (swim center, golf course, racket center, ice rink, parks), and administrative functions (permits, zoning, inspections, tax collection).

The municipality's technology stack is conventional for a mid-sized local government: a myLebo online portal serves as the primary resident-facing service gateway, an ArcGIS-powered interactive map tracks forestry service requests and provides zoning/school/park maps, CodeRED powers the LeboEmergency life-safety notification system, and UserWay provides website accessibility. Communication channels include a printed Mt. Lebanon Magazine mailed 10 times per year, a biweekly Seven Ten email newsletter, cable TV broadcasts of public meetings, and social media. No proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or developer-facing APIs are documented.

Mt. Lebanon's revenue model is tax- and fee-based rather than market-based. Primary inflows are property taxes, an annual solid waste fee of $345 per household (2026, included in the property tax bill), stormwater management fees, and various permit and recreation fees. It also receives Earned Income Tax receipts under Pennsylvania municipal taxation. Optional add-on services include backyard collection ($40–$75/month) and unit-priced services such as paper shredding ($10/bankers box) and GIS maps ($15–$30). The municipality has held the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting continuously since 1976 — the longest such streak in Pennsylvania — signaling disciplined fiscal management and reporting.

Not a direct competitor but operates similar municipal functions at scale — waste collection, public safety, parks, GIS services — and represents the broader governmental context in which Mt. Lebanon operates.
