The Township Finances are a collective effort of the various departments, elected officials, and appointed officials.
The budget process begins with professional analysis of expected revenue and expenses and concludes with final passage by the Board of Supervisors before the end of the calendar year. The budget must be available for public inspection for 20 days preceding the vote on adoption. The budget consists of the General Fund, Liquid Fuels Fund, Fire Tax Fund, EMS Tax Fund, and the Capital Improvements & Grants Fund.

Each fund serves a specific purpose. The General Fund includes general government, administration, public works, zoning & building codes enforcement, parks & recreation, and other basic services. The Liquid Fuels Fund is solely comprised of state funds that must be utilized for public works equipment and maintenance. The Fire/EMS Tax Funds include contributions to the Township's designated emergency services and funding for the Volunteer Service Tax Credit Program. Finally, the Capital Improvements & Grants Fund serves as the primary fund for grants funds from state, local, and other sources and major capital purchases.
The Township Treasurer is primarily responsible for the approvals of disbursement of funds and the overall financial wellbeing of the Township. In order to maintain best practices, the Treasurer also serves as a check on the Finance Director. Accordingly, the Treasurer is bonded for their honest discharge of their duties.
