In January 2008, Carol A. Leiphart took over the duties of Tax Collector when Earl F. Yetter retired.  She is reponsible for collecting the Borough's Real Estate and Per Capita taxes as well as the County's Real Estate taxes and the School District's Real Estate and Per Capita taxes. 

Borough and County Real Estate taxes are mailed March 1.  Taxes paid during March and April are entitled to a discount.  This discount period ends April 30.  A penalty is applied to any taxes paid after July 1.  Any taxes that remain unpaid as of December 31 are turned over to the Berks County Tax Claim Bureau for collection.

The Tax Collector's office has been moved to the Borough's Municipal Building located at 999 E. Broad Street.  Should you have any questions or need a special appointment, please call Ms. Leiphart at 610.685.1763.
