BOROUGH OF SOUDERTON

What BOROUGH OF SOUDERTON does

The Borough of Souderton is a municipal government entity incorporated on December 15, 1887, serving approximately 7,191 residents in southeastern Pennsylvania within Montgomery County. It operates as a local political subdivision under Pennsylvania state law, governed by an elected Borough Council and Mayor, and functions as a general-purpose local government rather than a commercial enterprise.

The borough delivers core municipal services across nine departments: Administration, Finance, Parks & Recreation, Planning & Code, Police, Public Safety, Public Works, Sewer, and Trash & Recycling. Service offerings include police protection, wastewater treatment, solid waste and recycling collection, community parks and a public swimming pool, recreational programming (POUND, Yoga, Zumba, Dr. Drill), building permits, zoning administration, commercial business licensing, and rental property registration. Its technology stack is modest and outsourced: an online payment portal supporting autopay, paperless billing, credit card, and eCheck/ACH for sewer and trash accounts; the RecDesk platform for parks and recreation registration; and Ecode360 for hosting the municipal code and ordinances.

Revenue is generated through property taxes, service fees (sewer, trash), and regulatory fees (permits, licenses, rental registration). The 2026 Fee Schedule (Resolution 2025-13) sets annual rental registration at $75 plus $37.50 per unit, commercial business licenses at $125 per business, and a $4.50 state fee per construction permit under Act 35 and 36 of 2017. The borough maintains a headcount of 7 employees and conducts outreach through its official website, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and email alerts. Recent strategic activity is centered on the January 2024 adoption of the Souderton Revitalization Plan Update, developed in partnership with the Montgomery County Planning Commission and Souderton Connects.
