Lehigh County’s Finance Committee held a June 17, 2026 meeting focused on an Intangible Personal Property Tax (“wealth tax”), featuring presentations from economists and regional business stakeholders. This indicates the County is actively exploring a new revenue mechanism that would affect long‑term fiscal planning and potentially require updated administrative, billing, and compliance processes if adopted. While no ordinance or procurement is referenced in the agenda, the structured expert testimony and role of the Finance Committee suggest early-stage policy design and revenue modeling work.For vendors, this can signal upcoming needs for tax administration systems, data analytics, public outreach, compliance consulting, and economic impact studies as the County refines and, if it proceeds, implements such a tax. Engaging now would mean positioning around helping the County model revenue, manage taxpayer communications, and update back‑office systems once a direction is chosen.

Meeting includes attached testimony and presentations from external organizations, indicating structured analysis and stakeholder engagement around the possible tax.
