Taxes

Residents in 11 counties across the region will see higher property taxes in 2025 as health insurance costs rise amid dwindling pandemic-era funds.

Tunkhannock Township Supervisors say some seasonal vendors have not paid their taxes to the township. Chair George Ewald said Pocono Raceway and AirBnB owners pay their taxes, but some short-term vendors have fallen short over recent years. Supervisors blame Berkheimer Tax Innovations. Ewald said they allowed revenue to slip through the cracks. “Berkheimer, we feel, has not done the job that we need done here,” said Ewald.
