HARRISBURG – Auditor General Timothy L. DeFoor today announced the release of audits of 38 municipal and police pension plans in Bucks, Butler, Cambria, Carbon, Centre, Clarion, Erie, Fayette, Greene, Jefferson, Lancaster, Lawrence, Lehigh, Lycoming, McKean, Montgomery, Perry, Somerset, Susquehanna, Washington and York counties.
“Our audits make sure state pension aid is used as required by law, which helps to reduce financial burdens on local taxpayers,” Auditor General DeFoor said. “Nearly a quarter of the pension plans in Pennsylvania are in some state of distress. It is essential that our communities plan to make their pension payments on time to support our workers who take care of us.
State aid for municipal pension plans is generated by a 2 percent tax on fire and casualty insurance policies sold in Pennsylvania by out-of-state companies. In 2025, the Department of the Auditor General distributed nearly $442 million in aid to 1,482 municipalities and regional departments to support pension plans covering police officers, paid firefighters and non-uniformed employees.
The department is required by law to audit municipal pension plans and volunteer fire relief associations that receive state aid from the department; liquid fuels tax usage by municipalities; various county offices and numerous other state government entities.
Explanations of findings are found in the full audit reports linked below or available online at www.PaAuditor.gov/audit-reports.
