Norwin property owners face potential 4% hike in real estate taxes

May 5, 2026 - 10:26

Property owners in the Norwin School District may be looking at a 4% increase in their real estate taxes for the coming school year. The potential hike stems from a roughly $1.5 million gap in the district's budget. According to the tentative financial plan, expenses are projected to reach $99.08 million, while revenue is estimated at just $97.52 million.

The Norwin School Board addressed the shortfall during a meeting on Monday. Officials are working to balance the budget without cutting essential programs, but the revenue gap leaves few options. If approved, the tax increase would help cover rising operational costs, including salaries, benefits, and facility maintenance.

Residents can expect further discussion on the budget in the weeks ahead. The board is scheduled to vote on the final plan before the start of the new fiscal year. Property owners are encouraged to attend upcoming meetings to voice their concerns or seek clarification on how the funds will be used. The district has not yet announced any public hearings on the matter.
