From The Tax Collector

The Upper Uwchlan Township Real Estate Tax bills are mailed on or about March 1. The bills are mailed directly to the homeowner and if you do not have your bill by March 31, please contact Judy Jones, Tax Collector at 610-458-1643. If you have recently moved into new construction, you may not receive a bill in March because your home was not assessed in time for the county to forward this information to the Township. Once your dwelling has been assessed, you will receive an Interim Tax bill for the time period that you lived in the home for that year.
