Hogan to Introduce Legislation to Create Stormwater Rebate Program
Sep. 24, 2025
HARRISBURG - Rep. Joe Hogan (Bucks) recently announced he will be introducing legislation that would allow a second-class township the option to create a rebate program to offset the cost of any stormwater fee they charge to homeowners. Lower Southampton, Middletown and Northampton are second-class townships.
"My office has received numerous calls and emails from seniors and other individuals on fixed incomes that the fees charged by a municipality for stormwater are burdensome.
Hogan's legislation would not mandate the creation of a rebate program for second-class townships. Rather, each municipality would set its own conditions on qualification if they adopted such a program.
"Many school districts do this for the property taxes they levy, townships should have the authority to do the same with stormwater fees. This is about making it more affordable to stay in the community you love," said Hogan.
This legislation is currently awaiting official introduction.
