POTTSTOWN, PA — Borough council is poised to vote Tuesday to stop getting its delinquent tax collections done by a private company and instead hire the Montgomery County Tax Claims Bureau to do it instead.
Although this method will not cost the borough any money out of pocket, neither does the current system.
However, should borough council decide instead to stay with its current collector, it would be obligated to pay the county roughly $39,000 for doing nothing.
Councilman Dan Weand, who heads council’s finance committee which recommended the change, said the taxpayers might as well get something for their money.
