Delaware County approved a 19% property tax increase, effective next month, as part of a $340 million budget to address a long-standing structural deficit.
The hike, the second in two years, will add about $188 annually to the bill for a $255,000 home.
Council members cited years of underfunding and dwindling federal aid under prior leadership as key reasons, saying the new budget marks the first time in over a decade the county is on track for financial balance.
