Cheswick Council has passed a budget of nearly $1.7 million for this year that has no property tax hike.
Passed with a 6-0 vote, the budget keeps the tax rate at 5.85 mills. The total includes 5.60 mills with an additional 0.25 of a mill to pay for maintenance at Springdale Free Public Library, which serves Cheswick, too. At that rate, the owner of a property assessed at $104,850, the median property value, will owe $613.37 in real estate taxes, the same amount as in 2020.
The budget is $100,000 less than last year’s spending plan. The largest expense is $234,000, Cheswick’s share to help fund the Allegheny Valley Police Department.
