Important: Residents Occupation Bills and the the Northampton Tax Collection Office
Please understand that while the staff at the Northampton Tax Office sends out the Residents Occupation Bills and collects the payments, that's where our involvement ends. We do not set the rates, nor can we make any changes.
While we are happy to help our Northampton Residents in any way we can, when it comes to questions about the Occupation Tax Bills, you must contact the Council Rock School District Occupational Tax Office.
