The Township Supervisors hereby re-establish the following tax structure:
Earned income tax | 0.5% on the earned income of residents and nonresidents of the township and 0.5% on the net profits of residents and nonresidents of the township |
Fire hydrant assessment | 0.5 mill for each $1 (or $0.05 for each $100) assessed on the adjusted real estate valuation of property for county tax purposes on surface owners in the township owning property within 780 feet of each public fire hydrant |
Local services tax | $52 a year for the privilege of engaging in an occupation with a primary place of employment within the township during the tax year; as long as the Conemaugh Township School District continues to impose an occupational privilege tax, the amount of $5 shall be deducted from the tax so that taxpayers obligated to pay this local services tax shall only pay the amount of $47 as local services tax to the township; those earning less than $12,000/year are exempt from this tax |

Real estate transfer tax | 0.5% upon deeds that transfer and convey lands, tenements or hereditaments situated wholly or partially within the township |
