A.Â
The Board of Supervisors of Lehigh Township, upon consideration of
Act 4,[1] finds that the following properties, attached hereto and
made a part hereof as Exhibit A,[2] identified by property owner, tax parcel number and easement
date, qualify for the real estate tax millage rate freeze and shall,
as of 2007, be included in the real tax millage rate freeze program.
Exhibit A is attached hereto and made a part hereof as though the
same were more fully set forth at length.
B.Â
This article may be amended by adding additional properties which
qualify under the terms of Act 4 for tax millage freeze relief on
an annual basis by resolution of the Board of Supervisors. In the
event additional properties are determined by the Board of Supervisors
to qualify for the Act 4 millage freeze and shall be added to the
list of properties available for such relief, the Board of Supervisors
shall so designate the same by formal resolution and provide notice
regarding the additional properties to both Northampton County and
the Northampton Area School District.
To remain eligible in the Act 4 Program, said property must
be maintained in accordance with Act 4 and all other state and local
regulations regarding the same. In the event any property referenced
herein ceases to be used in accordance with said enabling statutes,
then penalties and fines shall be assessed in accordance with Pennsylvania,
County and Township law.
