Bucks County set to increase property taxes by 8%

Bucks County residents will see higher property tax bills soon.

On Wednesday, the Bucks County Board of Commissioners voted 2-1 to increase property taxes by 8% during a meeting.

This vote was in response to a $16.4 million deficit in the county’s $516 million operating budget.

Democrats Bob Harvie and Diane Ellis-Marseglia voted in favor, and Republican Gene DiGirolamo voted against.

The increase will take effect in January 2026.
