About the Borough Budget

Adopting an annual operating budget is one of the main fiscal responsibilities of a Borough Council. In doing so, the Council creates a spending plan for the anticipated revenue it will receive in the coming year.

The Borough Budget, while adopted once a year, is a yearlong process that involves the cycle of preparation, adopted, implementation, and then management.

The Borough's primary sources of recurring revenue are Real Estate Tax (61.48%) and Earned Income Tax (19.42%), which combine to account for 80.90% of the Borough’s revenues. Additional revenue is derived from other taxes, permits, fines, interest, grants and other non-tax revenue.

The Borough’s major program expenditures include Police Services (44.41%) and Public Works Functions (28.71%), which combine to account for 73.12% of the Borough’s expenditures. Additional expenditures include general government expenses, storm sewer maintenance and repair, and contributions to supporting entities that allow the Borough to fulfill its mission.
