No Tax Increase in Chester County
The Chester County Commissioner's approved a budget with no increased taxes.
Chester County is heading into 2014 with the same taxes it had in 2013.
The County’s Commissioners voted in the 2014 budget on Wednesday, approving a county budget that is free of any tax increases.
“This budget… demonstrates our continuing process of maintaining tight control over expenditures, while seeking new, cost-effeective methods to deliver… the services our residents want,” Commissioner Ryan Costello said in a release.

The county’s budget for 2014 includes $429,821,896 in operating expenses and a capital budget of just under $93 million.
One possible cause for the flat tax rate could be the county’s tax base, which, according to the commissioner’s office, increased in 2013.
