The earned income tax has been levied by your resident taxing jurisdiction (i.e., the township, borough or school district in which you live). Earned income is defined as salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, incentive payments, fees, tips and/or other compensation for services rendered, whether in cash or property, and whether paid directly to you or through an agent. In addition, the net profits of a business are subject to a net profits tax. Net profits are defined as the net income from the operation of a business, profession, or other activity, except corporations, after deductions for all operating costs and expenses incurred in conducting said business.

Income such as dividends, interest, income from trusts, bonds, insurance and stocks is exempt. Also exempt are payments for third party sick or disability benefits, old age benefits, retirement pay, pensions - including social security payments, public assistance or unemployment compensation payments made by any governmental agency, and any wages or compensation paid by the United States for active service in the armed forces of the United States including bonuses or additional compensation for such service.

No. The tax withheld by your employer will be remitted to your resident taxing jurisdiction. It is still required that our questionnaire be answered by all residents.

Any individual working in a jurisdiction that levies the tax on residents and non-residents will have the tax withheld by their employer. If you work in a jurisdiction that does not tax non-residents, your employer is only required to withhold for those individuals who live in that jurisdiction. Occasionally, employers located in a jurisdiction where the tax is not levied will volunteer to withhold if your resident jurisdiction levies the tax.

No. If employed in Philadelphia, you may use the Philadelphia Wage Tax as a credit against your liability to your resident municipality, but the credit may not exceed the current tax rate for your local taxing jurisdiction. No refund or credit can be taken for any withholding greater than the current tax rate for your resident municipality.

The earned income tax will be collected directly from those who are: 

- Self-employed 

- Salaried but self-employed in a side business 

- Work in a municipality where the tax is not in place, or out of state 

Those persons must file a declaration of the total of such estimated net profits or income, together with the total estimated tax due, with the Earned Income Tax Collector. Proper forms for reporting the quarterly payments will be sent to each person if liable.

State law, as well as the local tax resolutions and/or ordinances, make it a summary criminal offense if a taxpayer fails to file a tax return as required. This subjects the taxpayer to a fine not to exceed $500 per offense, plus the cost of prosecution. In default of payment of said fine and costs, the taxpayer may be imprisoned for a period not exceeding 30 days per offense. In addition, distress sale, wage attachment and/or civil suit proceedings may be used to collect any unpaid tax found to be due, and penalties and interest may also be assessed.

Yes.   A Local Earned Income Tax Return must be filed annually by April 15.

If a violation is found during an inspection, a Fire Inspection Notice will be issued to record the type and location of the violation—if there is not a responsible party on site to receive the notice, it will be mailed to the property contact.   Unless the violation poses an immediate fire, life, or safety violation, reasonable time will be granted to make the corrections.

Please be aware of fraudulent fire extinguisher servicing companies saying they were “sent by the Fire Department” to service the extinguishers. We would never send a company to service your fire extinguishers. A fire extinguisher company or a fire service company of any kind does not have enforcement powers nor the authority to demand work to be performed. If at any time you feel uncomfortable or threatened, call the Limerick Township Police Department, or 911. If you have further questions regarding fraudulent fire extinguisher or fire protection service companies, please call the Fire Marshal’s Office at 610-495-6432 ext. 119

Yes. All businesses and multi-family residences within the Township of Limerick are required to provide fire extinguisher(s).  

The number of fire extinguishers required will depend on the type of hazard being protected, the maximum travel distance allowed to each extinguisher, and the square footage of the business or multi-family residence. Contact the Fire Marshal’s Office at 610-495-6432 ext. 119 and ask to speak with a Fire Marshal to determine how many your property requires.

To report violations, please call the Fire Marshal’s Office at 610-495-6432 ext. 119 or send an email to SSemmeles@LimerickPA.org

If compliance has not been met after the period allotted by the initial issue of the Fire Inspection Notice, a 2nd Fire Inspection Notice will be issued; concurrently a penalty fee may be assessed to you. A subsequent recheck will be made, and if the conditions in violation are still found, a final notice will be issued by way of a Compliance Order.  A subsequent recheck will be made, and if unsafe conditions are still found, a penalty fee will be assessed by way of an Administrative Citation. If conditions continue to exist, the matter will be forwarded to the District Justice office, and additional fees will be assessed. Each additional re-inspection for non-compliance will be charged as a penalty fee. If you have been assessed a penalty fee for noncompliance, you will not have your violation notice signed off as corrected until proof of payment is made.

A re-inspection is necessary to confirm the correction or abatement of any previous fire and/or life safety violations.

The Limerick Township Fire Marshal enforces the Fire Code. Chapter 84 of Township Code. "106.5 Fire Safety Inspection Program. Inspections are required annually for all tenant spaces in a commercial occupancy." If entry to the premises or common area is denied to the code enforcement officer, the code enforcement officer may apply to the appropriate authority for an administrative search warrant.

The Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and applicable Fire Code, currently the 2018 International Codes issued by the International Code Council (ICC) and the provisions amended by the UCC Review & Advisory Council (RAC)

Fire inspections are conducted to identify and correct any potential fire and life safety violations.   In doing so, the Fire Marshal plays a vital role in educating businesses and residents in proper fire prevention practices.

Limerick Township ordinance does not require mowing or maintenance of protected areas including woodlands, wetlands and riparian buffers because those areas should be left untended* to facilitate best practices for stormwater management and floodplain management. Woodland and floodplain areas should not be mowed and/or manicured but left in their natural state. Leaf litter left unraked on the woodland floor creates a leaf mat which absorbs rainfall and significantly reduces stormwater runoff.  Woodland areas in a floodplain are riparian forest buffers which should not be disturbed as this environment supports various ecological functions including filtering runoff and nutrient uptake, canopy and shade which reduces the temperature of the stormwater runoff. These are all metrics needed to support fish and wildlife habitat.

For more information and technical guidance, please refer to the Pennsylvania Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual, specifically Chapter 5, Section BMP 5.4.2 Protect/Conserve/Enhance Riparian Areas.

*Note:  Exception being dead trees in untended protected areas should at minimum be felled to reduce potential injury to person or structure.
