TOWNSHIP OF SKIPPACK

What TOWNSHIP OF SKIPPACK does

Skippack Township is a Second Class Township under Pennsylvania law, operating as a municipal government subdivision of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It is governed by a five-member elected Board of Supervisors and staffed by a lean core team of approximately 5 employees supplemented by contracted professional service providers. The township delivers statutory municipal services to residents and property owners within its geographic boundaries, including building permits and code enforcement, parks and recreation programming across five parks and associated trails, public works and road maintenance, stormwater management under PA DEP NPDES Phase II MS4 permit requirements, and coordination of sewer and water services through regional utility authorities.

The township's revenue model is tax-driven, with five identified streams: real estate tax (township share of 0.0616 mills within a total 46.8636 mill rate that includes fire company, county, and school district levies), earned income tax (0.5% township share, collected by Berkheimer Associates), real estate transfer tax, amusement tax (10% on entertainment venue tickets), and a dedicated open space tax. Supplementary revenue is generated through building permit fees (formalized in the 2026 Fee Schedule), parks and recreation fees (2026 Park & Recreation Fee Schedule), and charges for special services. Customer segments are exclusively geographic—the township's resident and property-owner population.

Operations are executed through a combination of in-person service at the administrative building at 4089 Heckler Road, an online portal (skippacktownship.org), and field operations. External service delivery relies on contracted partners including Keystone Municipal Services (code enforcement), Pennoni (planning), Traffic Planning & Design (traffic engineering), Joseph Kuhls (solicitor), Timothy Woodrow (township engineer), and ReadyMontco/Everbridge (emergency alerts). The technology platform is described as a standard municipal government operations platform with no proprietary AI, API, or integration capabilities disclosed.
