Municipal budgets are documents that express our collective will and values.
Over the coming weeks, Montgomery County residents will have a few opportunities for input to ensure that our tax dollars are spent in ways that reflect those values of inclusivity, affordability, and access for all income levels.

Upcoming Dates:
Monday, Nov. 25 at noon – The final Norristown Council 2025 budget hearing will be held at council chambers. The town faces a budget gap of $855,000, which may necessitate a tax increase of 1 mill (or $1 for every $1,000 in assessed property value).

The PMRPC, formed in 2005 to better manage growth, is in the midst of updating its comprehensive plan. Meetings are held inside Pottstown Borough Hall (room behind council chambers).
Thursday, Dec. 12 - Montgomery County budget hearings, 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., will be held at One Montgomery Plaza in Norristown and online.
