Taxes

Real Estate Tax

All owners of taxable real estate property within the Borough of Conshohocken (vacant land, residential, commercial, and other structures) are subject to a real estate tax each year. 

Taxing Entities

There are four (4) different taxing entities to which Conshohocken Borough property owners pay real estate tax:

  • Municipality: Borough of Conshohocken
  • School District: Colonial School District
  • County: Montgomery County
  • County: Montgomery County Community College

The real estate tax is based on a millage rate levied each year by the respective governing bodies above. The Borough’s millage rate is set by Conshohocken Borough Council each year in December as part of the annual budget process. The school millage rate is set in June by the Colonial School Board and the county millage rate is set in December by the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners.

How is the real estate tax calculated?

The Montgomery County Board of Assessment determines a property’s assessed value. The real estate tax is calculated by multiplying a property's assessed value by the millage rate (expressed as mills x 0.001). One mill represents $1 in taxes per $1,000 in tax-assessed value.

For example, in 2023, the millage rate for a Conshohocken resident is divided into four categories, totaling 0.034147 (34.147 x .001).

  • Borough Millage = 0.0045 (4.5 x 0.001)
  • Colonial School District Millage = 0.02502 (25.02 x 0.001)
  • Montgomery County Millage = 0.004237 (4.237 x 0.001)
  • Montgomery County Community College Millage = 0.00039 (0.39 x 0.001)

If we continue with this example, the owner of a property assessed at $100,000 would owe the following annual costs in real estate tax:

  • Amount owed to the Borough = $450 ($100,000 x 0.0045)
  • Amount owed to the Colonial School District = $2,502 ($100,000 x 0.02502)
  • Amount owed to the County = $423.70 ($100,000 x 0.004237)
  • Amount owed to the MCCC = $39.00 ($100,000 x 0.00039)

Real estate taxes are mailed to all property owners twice a year: 

  • The first mailing is for the Borough’s real estate taxes 
  • The second mailing is for the school real estate taxes
