Borough Of Milford

What Borough Of Milford does

Paragraph 1: Borough of Milford, Pennsylvania is a municipal government entity incorporated on December 5, 1874, operating as the County Seat of Pike County. It administers local government services to approximately 1,104 residents within a 0.5 square mile footprint. Governance is conducted by a seven-member elected Borough Council and a Mayor (Candace Mahala), with four-year council terms and a public meeting cadence anchored at Borough Hall, 109 West Catharine Street.

Paragraph 2: The borough's core services span public safety (Police Department with year-round coverage, Milford Fire Department, Milford Ambulance Corps, Office of Emergency Management), public works (Casella-contracted weekly garbage collection, $15/month recycling, yard waste and leaf collection, snow removal), utilities coordination (Milford Water Authority serving 800 users; partnerships with Pike County Light & Power, UGI, Blue Ridge Cable), parks and recreation (West Ann Memorial Park, skateboard park, ice skating rink), and permitting/zoning administered by SFM Consulting. Tax collection is operated by Carol Osterberg, with Earned Income Tax and Local Services Tax remitted through Berkheimer Associates. Historic preservation is enforced via the Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB).

Paragraph 3: The revenue model is built on four streams: property tax revenue, permit and fee revenue (occupancy, zoning, building, sewage, signage, special event, yard sale, rental registration, and street permits per the 2026 Borough Fee Schedule), Earned Income Tax collected via Berkheimer, and managed trash and recycling subscription fees through Casella. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-resident via in-person services at the Borough Office (500 Broad Street), online permit and form downloads through milfordboro.org, and curbside municipal services. Long-tenured community partnerships with the Milford Garden Club (since 1937), Pocono Mountain Visitors Bureau, Delaware Valley School District (4,400 students), and the Pike County Office of Emergency Management support the borough's operational base. No proprietary technology stack, software products, or AI/ML capabilities are present; the entity is a non-commercial public-sector organization.
