YARDLEY, PA — Members of the Yardley Borough Council are considering a property tax increase. The increase would be 4 mills, which would amount to an average increase of $110 per year on homes in Yardley. Council members unanimously approved a preliminary budget that included the increase at their meeting last week. Council is scheduled to vote on the borough's final 2021 budget in December. "We know this has been a difficult year and this decision was not reached lightly," council member Caroline Thompson said in a social media post. The council has meetings scheduled for Dec. 1 and Dec. 15. A copy of the proposed budget is available for public inspection at Yardley Borough Hall, or may be requested online. Thompson volunteered to answer constituent questions about the budget via email at [email protected].
