Lower Moreland School Taxes Up 34 Percent In Last Decade: Report

LOWER MORELAND, PA – A new report tracks increases in taxes in several local school districts across the Philadelphia area over the past ten years.

In the report, the Philadelphia Inquirer charts out tax increases levied by districts in Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks counties over the last 10 years.

Rising taxes levied by school districts is commonplace and should be, to some degree, expected, given economic flux, enrollment increases, new technology, and other district needs to modernize education.

In Lower Moreland, taxes have increased 34.3 percent over the past ten years.

The district's most recent millage rate hike means homeowners in the district will see a $186 increase in the 2018-2019 bill.

The increase in Lower Moreland is markedly less than in nearby Upper Dublin, which has seen a 47.9 increase.
