Springettsbury Township, Pennsylvania

What Springettsbury Township, Pennsylvania does

Unlike a commercial enterprise, Springettsbury does not generate revenue in the traditional sense; it operates on an annual municipal budget funded through a diversified set of tax and fee streams. Recurring revenue sources include property tax, mercantile and business privilege tax, earned income tax, local services tax, sewer utility fees, and waste collection fees, supplemented by transactional revenue from building permits, zoning applications, subdivision approvals, and property code enforcement. Services are delivered through in-person transactions at the municipal complex, online self-service portals, contracted third-party providers (Penn Waste for waste collection, York Water for water service, York Area United Fire and Rescue for emergency services), and remote participation via Zoom-enabled public meetings. The go-to-market model is direct-to-citizen, serving three primary segments: residential property owners, local businesses and commercial entities, and developers/builders undertaking projects within the township.
