Lower Pottsgrove Tax Collector Jennifer Marsteller is keeping her office open earlier, and an hour longer than usual, to make it easy on last-minute taxpayers and other procrastinators.

Lower Pottsgrove commissioners and Pottsgrove school board members have decided to keep a Norristown law firm as their collector of delinquent taxes, even if that means paying an added fee to Montgomery County.

Lower Pottsgrove’s Sewer Authority hopes a Norristown law firm can collect more than $285,000 owed to it by township property owners.

Several business items will occupy Lower Pottsgrove’s Board of Commissioners when it meets tonight at 7 p.m., in a session open to the public.

Lower Pottsgrove is bringing on added legal help to pursue those who owe it money for back taxes and other municipal claims.

It’s not their last meeting of the year (that comes in two weeks), but Lower Pottsgrove commissioners tonight will nonetheless wade through a list of clean-up items from earlier agendas.

Lower Pottsgrove wants to collect more of what it’s owed from people who haven’t yet paid their outstanding user fees and taxes. It may look to a new collection agency to do that work.
