Chester County Municipalities
1998 Relative Tax Impact

The following tables show the impact of local municipal taxes on property owners (school and county taxes are not included). They assume a household of 2 adults (1.5 working) with a total earned income of $50,000/year and a house assessed at $100,000. They are ordered from highest to lowest cost.

I have the 1998 tax information for all the municipalities except Newlin Township (shown at the end of the township table with '???'s in place of the missing data). If you know the 1998 tax rates for this township, please email me the information.

Coatesville has been excluded from the tables because it's the only city in the county.
