The Finance Department is responsible for the fiscal management of the township. This includes the collection of all taxes, permit fees, fees for services, fees from developers and inter-governmental grant money.

Limerick Township has two tax collectors. The elected Tax Collector, Mark Painter, collects the township’s real estate tax and the fire hydrant assessment. The appointed Tax Collector, Berkheimer Tax Administrators, collects the Earned Income Tax and the Local Services Tax.

The Finance Department consists of the Finance Manager/Treasurer and an Accounting Assistant. Together, they perform the day-to-day financial operations of the township and provide benefits administration for the township employees. It is their job to place all township funds in secure investments. The Finance Department also coordinates recreational programs and sells discount amusement park and ski resort tickets.

The Finance Department interacts with administrative staff, developers and the township engineer to insure that all projects under construction have the proper financial security to complete the project.

The Finance Department is responsible for monitoring the township budget throughout the year. The budget process for each fiscal year begins in September and ends in December with the approval of the budget by the Board of Supervisors.
