about aston 

This site is dedicated to Fran McLaughin who created the original site from which we were all motivated to present all of what you see. He dedicated much of the final years of his life creating Aston Township's first municipal website. In thanks, we have maintained some of what he created here in memory of his efforts. The banner, the color scheme, and some of the design work still remain in his honor.

The PA Local Tax Collection Law (72 P.S. 5511.7 Section 7) states:

 If you do not receive your bill within a reasonable time period after the billing dates,

Call the proper tax office.

The real estate tax is based on a millage rate decided each year by the three governing bodies.

Aston Township, 2008 millage – 3.65
