📬 Tax Collector Update – Thursday, 6/19/2025 at 8:00 PM
I collected the mail on Thursday, June 19th at 8:00 PM. After processing the drawer, I began printing the reminder letters.

🧾 Interim Bill Reminder:
If you received an interim bill, there’s a good chance you won’t get a reminder letter — these bills are not due for penalty until September 1st, and reminder letters are not being sent for them.

However, if you do receive one by mistake, you can safely ignore the penalty section. Interim bills follow a different schedule because the County issued them after the original bills.

📅 Interim Bill Timeline:

Discount: 5/1 – 6/30
Face: 7/1 – 8/31
Penalty: 9/1 – 12/31

📮 Reminder letters were dropped off at the Post Office on 6/23/2025 at 7:45 AM.

Thanks for staying on top of your taxes!

🚧 ROAD CLOSURE ALERT – ROUTE 125 (Coal Township) 🚧

‼️ Heads up to all drivers and AOAA visitors:

Route 125 will be completely CLOSED to all traffic from July 14th for two weeks due to road construction in Coal Township, near the AOAA Covert Trailhead.

📍 The closed section runs from Point Breeze Road to just past the AOAA entrance (approx. 0.6 miles). Absolutely no traffic will be allowed through — this is a full closure, not a lane restriction.

🚫 If you normally travel through this area — especially from East Cameron or West Cameron Township into Shamokin — you’ll need to take an alternate route such as via Trevorton or another bypass.

🗺️ Please plan ahead, allow extra time, and respect all road closure signs.

Thanks for your patience while this necessary work is completed! 🦺👷‍♂️🛠️

Heads up!

I'll be away for training from May 4th to May 7th, 2025. I last checked the mail on April 29th, so I'll be gathering the final Discount Period mail likely between May 8th and May 9th. The plan is to have everything prepped and ready for deposit into the night depository after my day job on May 12th.

Thanks for your patience!

Edit May 4th, 2025 12:22 p.m.
Anything collected in person or by mail on the 29th has just been officially put into the night depository box and now I'm off the training.

Edit May 9th, 2025 at 5:03 p.m.
I had collected the last of the discount mail so anything that was left at the Township or in the mail I have received and going to try and keep my timeline of having it deposited into the night depository May 12th so that it can be processed by the bank May 13th.

Thank you for your understanding, and I will keep you updated with any further information.

🚨 IMPORTANT MAILING NOTICE 🚨
All mail sent to me must include “Tax Collector” in the address—such as:
📌 ECT - Tax Collector
📌 East Cameron Township - Tax Collector
📌 East Cameron TWP - Tax Collector

Mail addressed only to the township name may be delayed because I will not open or take that mail. It will only be given to me once the township realizes it's mine and includes it with my other correspondence.

💵 New: Cash Payments Accepted This Year 2025 💵

✅ Bring your entire tax bill (both the top and bottom portions) so I can stamp and initial your copy and mine.
✅ Exact cash only – I will not have change available.
✅ Overpayments – Any extra amount paid will be carried over into the tax account.

I have always preferred checks because they are traceable, but I understand that some people prefer to pay in cash. I’m giving this a try under these conditions.

✉ CHECK PAYMENT NOTICE ✉

✔ All checks must be made payable to:
📌 ECT - Tax Collector
📌 East Cameron Township - Tax Collector
📌 East Cameron TWP - Tax Collector

This ensures the check is properly deposited into the tax account. It should prevent a bank from accepting checks made out this way into a personal account, adding security.

📢 Important Tax Update – County Millage Increase 📢

As many of you have heard, county millage has increased by 5 mills. I want to clarify what this means for your tax bill so there’s no confusion.

If your property is assessed at $1,000, your taxes will increase by $5 at face value.

There has been some misunderstanding on Facebook, with some posts suggesting tax bills are increasing by 50% or more. This is not true—your bill will not skyrocket.

How to Calculate Your Tax Increase:

✔ (Assessed Value ÷ 1,000) = Value
✔ (Value × Millage) = Increase at Face Value

Example Calculation (Assessed Value: $5,500):
🔹 $5,500 ÷ 1,000 = 5.5
🔹 5.5 × 5 mills = $27.50 increase at face value.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I just wanted to clear up any confusion and help you understand what to expect.

💵 New: Cash Payments Accepted This Year 💵

This year, I’m trying something new and will be accepting cash payments. However, there are a few important conditions:

✅ You must bring your entire tax bill (both the top and bottom portions) so I can stamp and initial your copy and my copy for record-keeping.
✅ Exact cash only – I will not have change available.
✅ Overpayments – Any extra amount paid will be carried over into the tax account. Once my term is over, those funds will be split between the county, school, and municipality or used to help cover small shortages for those who come up slightly short on their bills.

I have always preferred checks because they are traceable, but I understand that some people prefer to pay in cash. I’m giving this a try under these conditions.

Let me know if you have any questions!
