On Wednesday, Dauphin County Commissioners decided to terminate the county’s agreement with its long-standing lobbying firm and hike property taxes by 21.8% in 2025—the first rise in the county’s history.
Due to the massive tax increase, the owner of a $200,000 home will have to pay $1,675 in property taxes annually, which is an extra $300. A $300,000 home’s owner will need to make an additional $450 a year.
