Board of Supervisors Adopts 2026 Township Budget

At its December 17 meeting, the Middletown Township Board of Supervisors voted to adopt the 2026 Township Budget, following several months of public meetings, discussions, and community engagement.
The adopted budget includes modest reductions to the originally proposed real estate tax increase while maintaining critical investments in Township services and infrastructure.

2026 Tax Rates

As approved, the 2026 budget includes the following tax rates:
  • Real Estate Tax: 5.58 mills
  • Earned Income Tax (EIT): Increased by an additional 0.5%, bringing the total EIT rate to 1.0%
Where the Revenue Goes

Revenue generated from the real estate tax is dedicated entirely to supporting essential community services, including:
  • Fire and emergency services
  • Parks and Recreation
  • Open space preservation
These investments are intended to maintain service levels, address long-term infrastructure needs, and support quality-of-life amenities for residents.
Continued Transparency

Throughout the budget process, the Township worked to provide residents with multiple opportunities to learn more about the proposed budget, ask questions, and share feedback. This included public meetings, a town hall, and the Township’s Behind the Budget educational series.
Residents are encouraged to review the full 2026 Budget for additional details.
