New Tax Collector Wanted In Warminster

WARMINSTER, PA —The township's next tax collector will have big shoes to fill no matter their resume.

Warminster Township is now accepting resumes to replace Tax Collector Bobbie Loftus, who announced her retirement last month.

Loftus has collected taxes from township residents for nearly a quarter of a century.

Anyone interested in the position should email a resume and cover letter to Township Manager Tom Scott at [email protected].

At a recent Warminster Township Board of Supervisors meeting, Loftus said she was going to call it a career on Jan. 6, giving a six-month notice to ensure a smooth transition.

Loftus explained to supervisors at their June 20 meeting the extensive process of appointing and training a successor, which includes advertising, interviewing, appointing, taking courses, passing exams, and setting up new accounts.

Loftus has had a track record of bringing in collections to fill the township's coffers.

In 2022, Loftus mailed out 10,400 bills to collect taxes of $8.2 million as of March 1. By November, she had hit a 94 percent collection rate and had 123 residents and $86,000 left.

This year, Loftus said last month that there are only 490 people left to pay taxes this year. She said 28 of those were being handled by the Police and Fire Credit Union.
