Skippack resident Jack Florio challenged the board to rearrange the budget and to save money “so you don’t have to raise our property taxes.”īarbara Furman, of New Hanover Township, said the 8% increase “is just exorbitant,” and was one of a few residents to criticize the amount of funds going towards the county’s new Justice Center in Norristown. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there’s been some opposition to increasing the property tax - especially since Montgomery County has increased real estate taxes in its previous two budgets. Any changes to the budget will be shared at the commissioners’ meeting on Dec. 15, when the county commissioners will vote on the final version of the budget. Community input on the proposed budget will be collected until Dec. Montgomery County officials have been collecting community feedback on the proposed budget via email, regular mail, and two budget hearings held on Dec. The county is also investing $3 million into the Norristown Public Library. Expenditures include $38 million to improve county facilities, $20 million for roads and bridges improvements, $12 million for parks and trails, another $20 million for trail projects, and $30 million for the Ridge Pike Improvement Project. The county is projected to spend more than $269 million of its capital fund budget in 2023.
