Tax layers

Three bills. Three offices. County-published millage.

Bucks County property owners receive separate county, municipal, and school district tax bills. The rates below are transcribed from the county's official millage sheet and apply to a property's county assessed value — a fraction of market value — not its sale price.

County millage (2026) 29.65 mills official
Hulmeville Borough millage (2026) 16.00 mills official
Neshaminy SD millage (2025–2026) 190.2137 mills official
Combined total 235.8637 mills

Estimate only: assessed value × mills ÷ 1,000 per layer, before the homestead exclusion or any interim adjustments. The county bill is what the offices say it is, not what a website computes.

Source: Bucks County Board of Assessment — 2026 Millage Rates (sheet dated 2/4/2026). Retrieved 2026-07-22. Estimate a bill: assessed value × mills ÷ 1,000 — try the tax calculator, and look up assessed value in the county property search. Millage rates are provided by local taxing authorities. Verify with the Board of Assessment, your municipal tax collector, and your school district before relying on any figure.

For homestead exclusion and assessment appeals, start with the Board of Assessment. See the tax intelligence hub for the full three-layer explainer.

Ranks and county medians are computed across all Bucks County municipalities reporting each measure in the American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates. Rank 1 is the highest value, not the "best" — a high median home value and a long commute are both rank 1 at the top of their columns.

Flood context

Water shapes the market in Hulmeville Borough.

Exposure: Neshaminy Creek

Hulmeville is a creek town: the historic borough grew up around a Neshaminy Creek mill seat, and the creek still defines its flood exposure. The remnants of Hurricane Ida (September 2021) — part of a federal disaster declaration that included Bucks County — demonstrated how high the Neshaminy can rise through this reach.

In a borough measured in blocks, the distance between a Zone AE parcel and an unmapped one is short. Pull the FIRM panel for the exact address, ask about 2021 and earlier creek floods, and price flood insurance into any creek-adjacent purchase from the start.

Parks & getting around

Daily life in Hulmeville Borough.

Landmark
Neshaminy Creek frontage

The borough grew up as a mill village on the Neshaminy, and the creek is still the defining feature of its handful of blocks.

Roads
Hulmeville Road (PA 513)

The old crossroads route that stitches the borough to Langhorne, Bensalem, and the Route 1 corridor.

Hulmeville is one of Bucks’ smallest boroughs — a few creekside blocks of old mill-village housing stock where the Neshaminy bends through Lower Bucks. There’s no commercial strip and no park system to speak of inside the borough line; daily life leans on Langhorne, Penndel, and the Route 1 corridor a few minutes away.

That’s also the pitch: a genuinely historic, genuinely tiny town surrounded by full-service suburbs. Buyers should read the flood section of this profile carefully — creekside charm on the Neshaminy comes with creekside flood history — and confirm any specific parcel’s flood zone before falling for a porch view of the water.

Official verification

Confirm facts at the property line.

A Hulmeville Borough address is presumed to sit in Neshaminy SD, but boundaries split streets — confirm the assignment for the exact parcel. Assessment matters more than the $387,500 median suggests: Bucks County assesses at a fraction of market value, so two similar Hulmeville Borough homes can carry very different bills.
