The 2024 budget for the Municipality of Norristown was unanimously authorized for advertisement — and it includes a possible tax increase to cover a nearly $800,000 deficit. Finance director Kathy Pfister suggested increasing the municipal millage rate from 17 mills to 17.25 mills to close the gap. For those in single dwellings, the one-fourth millage increase would mean an increase of $18 per year. The trash fee is also set to increase by $26 for a one-person household, $52 for a two-person household, $78 for a three-person household, and $104 for a four-person household, according to a municipal spokesperson. The vote for the 2024 budget is expected to take place at the upcoming Norristown Municipal Council meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 5.
