If there is a difference between your usage and the prior owner's usage, the Township will issue a refund check to you. To qualify, you must pay the current bill as it was issued and submit the required documents when you have been in the home for 12 months. However, if you believe your water consumption will be significantly lower than the prior owner, you may be eligible for the New Homeowner's Credit.

Increases in assessments which result in an interim tax bill can be caused by things such as new construction on a vacant lot, adding on to your home, installing a swimming pool, etc.

Interim tax bills are the result of a list of changes the Tax Collector receives from the Montgomery County Board of Assessment Appeals. In addition to the annual township, county and school tax bills collected by the Tax Collector, there are additional bills called “interim” tax bills that can be issued.
