Warrington Township is one of more than 1,400 townships of the second class in Pennsylvania. The Township is governed according to the Township Code, a state law that specifies the organizations, powers, responsibilities and limits of township government.
In our township the governing body is the five-member Board of Supervisors. The Supervisors are elected for six-year terms. One or two Board positions are up for election in each odd numbered year. There are ward or district elections. All five Board members are elected at large.
The Board of Supervisors is responsible for governing the Township, including all the policy decisions, adoption of the annual budget and the setting of tax rates. The Board enacts local laws (ordinances), establishes zoning districts and land use regulations, and appoints citizens to serve on Township authorities, boards and commissions.
