East Vincent Township

What East Vincent Township does

East Vincent Township is a second-class municipal government organized under Pennsylvania state law and located at 262 Ridge Road, Spring City, PA 19475 in Chester County. The township delivers core municipal services to its residents and property owners through a Board of Supervisors governance structure, an appointed professional management team led by Township Manager Robert A. Zienkowski, and contracted specialized service providers covering legal, engineering (general, traffic, sewer, stormwater), land planning, and sewer operations. Core service lines include public works (road maintenance, drainage, snow removal, stormwater management), wastewater services, building and zoning permitting and inspection, public safety and emergency management, parks and recreation, and finance and tax administration.

The township's digital surface consists of an official website (eastvincent.org) powered by the Catalis municipal platform, an online bill pay portal, digital planning commission meetings via Zoom, and an Everbridge 360-based emergency notification system. It maintains three parks (Independence Park, Park on the Ridge, People's Park), the Indy Trail, a Tiny Forest, a Native Plant Pollinator Garden, and a forthcoming Food Forest, alongside historical preservation assets including the Historic Parker Ford Tavern, Revolutionary Soldiers Cemetery, and the First Hickory Grove School House.

The township's revenue model is funded primarily through real estate tax (1.8 mils general purposes, plus street light assessments and a 0.171 mil hydrant tax) and earned income tax (0.5% general purposes, 0.3325% open space), with collection outsourced to Berkheimer Tax Associates and Keystone Collections Group respectively. Supplementary revenue is generated from sewer service fees (including an $8,304 tapping fee and quarterly billing), permit and inspection fees ($100 application fee, $50 contractor registration), volunteer firefighter tax credits under Act 172, and limited one-time fees for subdivision, land development, and zoning applications. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and the township holds an S&P Global investment-grade bond rating obtained in 2021.
