The 1996 base year, the 3.36 Common Level Ratio factor, why millage is comparable across all sixty-two municipalities, the 1 August appeal deadline, and the referendum millage the county's own sheet leaves out.

Crest records and flood stages at Norristown, Pottstown and Graterford, what Ida did inside Collegeville Borough, and how a Special Flood Hazard Area, an escrowed flood policy and an elevation certificate land inside a loan file.

Closing costs in Montgomery County

The 2% transfer tax, title and recording, the REV-183 Statement of Value, escrow built from the real millage stack, the borough inspections that eat a closing calendar, and why a new owner's tax bill can beat the seller's.
