Taxes
Earned Income Tax
A tax for general revenue purposes is imposed on earned income,
including salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, incentive payments, fees,
tips, and other compensations received by residents, as well as any income
from net profits and joint ventures. All residents of Summit
Township are subject to the tax. The earned income tax is 1% of
gross income. Proceeds from this tax are shared equally by the
Township and the Fort LeBoeuf School District.
Emergency Municipal Services Tax
The Emergency
Municipal Services Tax (Formerly Occupational Privilege Tax) is levied by Summit Township for the privilege of
engaging in an occupation within the Township. All residents and
nonresidents alike who are employed in Summit Township are required to pay
an annual EMS of $10.00. These proceeds are shared equally by the
Township and the Fort LeBoeuf School District.
Per Capita Tax
A $10 Per Capita Tax is a flat rate tax levied by the Fort LeBoeuf
School District upon each individual,
eighteen years of age or older, residing within the Fort LeBoeuf School
District of which Summit Township is a part. This yearly tax remains
in effect for residents until retirement or until Social Security Benefits
begin. The
tax has no connection with employment, income, voting rights, or any other
factor except residence within the community. Full time students,
military personnel or those with disabilities may be exonerated upon
request. Proceeds are remitted entirely to the Fort LeBoeuf School
District.

All owners of taxable real property in Summit Township (vacant land or

estate tax each year. All property owners in the Township pay three
different kinds of real estate (property) tax. The Township levies the
local tax, Erie County levies the County real estate tax and the Fort
LeBouef School District levies the school real estate tax.
