Re-Elect Bob Di Domizio for Tax Collector of Towamencin Township

Well, the election results are finally confirmed and I can look forward to another term as your Towamencin Township Tax Collector!

I want to thank all those who helped make this happen, most of all my wife Diane, my son Tony, the Towamencin Republican Committee people, and the voters who have placed their trust in me to be the best that I can be in fulfilling the obligations of this most challenging post.

All through the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic my office stayed open, in full compliance with the Governor's safe practice guidelines.

I also want to thank my challenger, Des McGruder, for running a clean, respectful campaign. We need more people like you, Des, to get involved with our Township, supporting the many worthwhile programs we have.

I am looking forward to the next four years, hoping and praying that this pandemic will run it's course and we can all get back to some semblance of normalcy.

There are a lot of plans in the works. We can expect an uptick in development, and with it the challenges of traffic control and safety.

We have a new Township Manager, Don Delamater, and we will have two new members on the Board of Supervisors. Join me in giving them your support and encouragement.

Thank you, Towamencin!!!

The votes are still being counted. Nobody wants this to be done more than me. Hats off to the counters for putting in so many hours.

Its not over until it's over.

I appreciate your vote for my re-election as Tax Collector for Towamencin Township on Tuesday Nov. 2!

The latest addition to my office. Making it nice and toasty for taxpayers and me. Thanks, Ipropane, for the install and Scott Lauro for the slab.

Are you folks aware that in Pennsylvania the Tax Collector’s obligation will follow them after they leave office, and even after death? The following passage is taken directly from the Tax Collector’s Manual, 19th Edition, October 2018:

“Death does not relieve the tax collector’s responsibility for collecting the taxes on the duplicate [the data base supplied by the County]. In the event of the death of a tax collector, the executors or the administrators of the estate have the same powers to enforce collection of unpaid taxes as the tax collector would have if living.”

They are the ONLY elected officials in this state to retain responsibilities of office after their terms officially expire.

Not many people realize the commitment in time, responsibility, and money that this position requires.

It takes a lot of preparation to do this job. You must be prepared to stay on top of the task or risk fines for missed deadlines. For example, each month tax collectors must file collection reports to the taxing districts no later than the 10th of the month following. Failure to do so can result in stiff fines.

All newly elected Tax Collectors must take and pass the Basic Tax Collecting course and maintain Continuing Education credits during their term of office. These requirements are monitored and controlled by the PA Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED).

Tax Collectors are expected to supply the tools they need to do their job, such as office equipment & furniture. Tax Collectors must maintain an office within their municipality, with the requisite liability insurance, and remain a resident for the entire term of office.

The municipality will cover some expenses, such as stationery and bond insurance. But the bulk of the expenses of running a tax collection office comes out of pocket.

Tax Collectors are not subject to Right To Know (RTK) because technically the money we collect and the payment data on file are private until turned over to the County at closing.

I take pride in my job, and I am grateful to the residents of Towamencin Township for voting for me and entrusting me with this important job!

Community Day at Fischer's Park, 2021. Me and my partner, enjoying the day and meeting people! Thank you, Township staff and volunteers, for putting this event together!

So proud of my baby girl. Bachelor Degree & Masters Degree, 4th grade teacher in Philly, mother of three, and my favorite (sorry, boys). Help me wish her a Happy Birthday!

PRESS RELEASE, October 2nd, 2021 :
MONTGOMERY COUNTY DISCLOSES PRINT ERROR ON MAIL-IN BALLOTS, NEW BALLOTS TO BE ISSUED.

NORRISTOWN, PA – On Friday evening, Montgomery County Election Officials were notified that approximately 16,000 General Election Mail-In Ballots were printed incorrectly by its ballot vendor, NPC, and mailed to residents. These ballots are easily identified as they were only printed on one side.

Chip Gallaher, CEO of NPC, stated “We sincerely regret that this happened and are working with the County and State to ensure impacted voters receive a new ballot. Once the error was recognized, we immediately stopped production and began to investigate. Our investigation determined that a programming error caused the back page of the ballot to be omitted.”

Voters who receive a one-sided ballot in the mail should destroy the ballot and envelopes. Montgomery County Voter Services will cancel the incorrectly issued ballot materials and re-issue new, two-sided ballots to these residents automatically. These residents will be notified either by email, phone or mail. Re-issued ballots are expected to be mailed next week.

“This does not meet the standard we have come to expect from NPC,” said Dori Sawyer, Director of Elections. “Upon notification of the error, we began working with the Department of State, taking the proper steps to cancel the incorrect ballots and issue replacements. We appreciate the patience of our voters while we re-issue corrected ballots.”

As always, any voter who originally applied to vote by mail but chooses not to return their mail-in ballot can vote in person. To do this, they can surrender their ballot and the envelope with the Voter’s Declaration at their polling location. If these ballot materials are not presented, the voter can vote using a provisional ballot.
