The Township municipal government collects several different types of taxes:

• Earned Income and Net Profits Tax

The actual collection of total taxes levied in the past few years has averaged between 98 and 98.5 percent. Real Estate Taxes provide close to 37 percent of revenue for the Township's general fund while Earned Income and Net Profits Tax account for 40 percent of the general fund.
