Real Estate Taxes

Evelyn Ankers is the Upper Merion Township Tax Collector as of the 2022 tax year.  She collects real estate property taxes from Township residents, and those funds are distributed to the Township, the Upper Merion Area School District, and Montgomery County. She issues these tax bills twice each year; once on March 1^st (county/township taxes) and once on July 1^st (school taxes).  She is not an employee of the Township, School District, or the County, but an elected official.  As such, the following information is being provided to you as a courtesy by the Township:
