Officials & Administration

Perkasie was incorporated as a municipal government known as a "borough" in 1879.  Borough Hall is located at 620 West Chestnut Street and, with few exceptions, public meetings of Borough Council and various municipal boards and commissions are held there.

The governing body consists of a Mayor and nine Council persons, three from each of the Borough's wards.  Council is organized into committees that cover all areas of municipal government responsibility.

The Borough Manager, appointed by Council, serves as the Borough Secretary.  Other groups of citizens appointed by Council aid in the administration of specific functions.  These boards and commissions include the Zoning Hearing Board, Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Board, Perkasie Borough Authority Board and Perkasie Industrial Development Authority.

If you are interested in appointment to a board, please call Perkasie Borough Hall, 215-257-5065 or stop in to obtain an application.
