Why mailing addresses get confusing
Many homes in these townships have a "Pottstown" mailing address even though they're not in the borough of Pottstown. Your township, not your mailing address, decides things like local taxes, trash pickup and which police department serves you. When in doubt, look up the property's municipality on the county website, or ask me. I'm happy to help.
