Residents should be aware that these letters are legitimate and, at this time, are not associated with delinquent tax collection. Keystone will be collecting Earned Income Tax (also know as “wage tax”) for the entire Township.

Staff members from Keystone will be present in the former Wage Tax Office between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on the following dates:
