You may have or will receive a letter from the Montgomery County Earned Income Tax Collector, Berkheimer.  This is a legitimate letter and is not a scam.  If any of the information on the letter is incorrect, if you are not a Narberth resident, or do not have earned income, please contact Berkheimer at wecare@palocaltax.com or call 610-599-3139, to let them know, or for questions and concerns.

If you have any additional questions or run into any problems working with Berkheimer, please contact the Borough Manager Samantha Bryant directly at sbryant@narberthpa.gov or 610-206-3341.  Please note the Borough property tax collector, Regina Watson, is not involved in the collection of the Earned Income Tax.
