In this month's  Treasurer's Bulletin I wanted to share the results our tax sales are yielding for the county, our school districts and municipalities, information about registering for this week's upcoming Tax Sale and exciting news about tourism in Montgomery County.

We continue to have terrific interest in our Speakers Bureau. If you'd like us to help arrange a speaker for your group or organization, please let me know.
 
As always, I welcome your feedback.

Best,

September 22 Upset Sale Already Yielding Results


Our first Upset Real Estate Tax Sale of 2016, will take place this  Thursday, September 22, 10 AM in Courtroom A at the Montgomery County Court House. Click here for a list of properties scheduled for sale. This list will be updated daily in advance of the sale.  All prospective bidders must register no later than close of business, Wednesday, September 21.

Preparations for this week's Upset Real Estate Tax Sale have already yielded $2.7 million in collection of delinquent county, school and municipal taxes as property owners make payment on chronic delinquencies in advance of the sale. You can read more coverage from NBC 10 here .

Montco Hotels Have a Record July


The Montgomery County Treasurer's office collects the County's hotel tax, which supports efforts to increase tourism in the County. July proved to be a record month for Montgomery County hotel occupancy, with a 7.3% increase in occupancy in July 2016 compared to July 2015. Room rates were up 13.1% and revenue per available room was up 21.4%. Read the Philadelphia Business Journal article for additional details.

Additionally our office collected $463,374 for the hotel tax this July, compared to $383,249 last July -- a 21% increase.
