East Pikeland Township

What East Pikeland Township does

East Pikeland Township is a Pennsylvania Second Class Township and political subdivision of Chester County, established in 1838 when the original Pikeland Township was divided into East and West Pikeland. It provides municipal services to residents and property owners within its Phoenixville-area boundaries through five operational departments: Administration (Township Manager, bookkeeper, zoning/planning), Police Department (24/7 coverage led by a Chief, Lieutenant, and officers), Public Works (road maintenance for nearly 40 miles of roads and 300+ acres of property), Parks & Recreation (148 acres of parks, 2.75 miles of trails, 236 acres of open space), and Planning/Building/Zoning (permitting and code enforcement). The township is governed by a three-member Board of Supervisors elected at large on staggered six-year terms, supported by a nine-member Planning Commission and additional advisory boards. East Pikeland Township employs 16 staff across these functions.

The township's revenue model is fee- and tax-based: recurring local real estate and emergency services taxes are collected through Berkheimer Associates; earned income and local services taxes are collected through Keystone Collections Group; permit and escrow fees support code enforcement; and transaction-based fees cover yard waste recycling, document duplication, and police accident reports. Service delivery is direct-to-resident via the township building, police and public works facilities, parks, and an online portal. The township pursues a multi-channel communications strategy (website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, quarterly newsletters, and Zoom-enabled public meetings) and has financed capital projects through external grants (DCNR and Chester County). Distinctive initiatives include the Clean Energy Transition Plan (100% renewable electricity by 2035) and SustainablePA Community Bronze certification.
