West Hanover Township supervisors gave tentative approval on Monday to a 2012 budget that won’t raise taxes.
The proposed $2.4 million spending plan would keep general real estate taxes at 1.19 mills, meaning that the owner of a property assessed at $100,000 would continue to pay $149 annually in real estate taxes.
Fire hydrant taxes are proposed to stay at the same rate next year. The .072-mill tax is applied to homes within 780 feet of a hydrant.
Streetlight taxes would be reduced for next year because of lower electric costs from a different supplier than what the township previously used, township manager Elizabeth Engle said. That would be reduced from 47 cents to 35 cents for each $100 of a property’s assessed value.
Supervisors are expected to finalize the budget on Dec. 19.
