About Warrendale
Bookkeeping that knows your market
Warrendale is one of the busiest business corridors in the northern suburbs. The area around the Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange and I-79 is packed with corporate offices, tech companies, logistics operations, and professional services firms. If you drive through the Warrendale business parks on a weekday morning, you'll see just how much commercial activity is concentrated here.
What most people don't realize is that Warrendale isn't a single municipality. It's an unincorporated area that straddles Marshall Township in Allegheny County and Cranberry Township in Butler County. That means two different tax jurisdictions, two different EIT collectors, and potentially different filing requirements depending on which side of the county line your office sits on. For business owners, this creates real bookkeeping headaches.
Local Tax Expertise
Warrendale's Two-County Tax Situation
If your Warrendale business is in Marshall Township (Allegheny County), your EIT rate is 1% and you file with Keystone Collections. If you're on the Cranberry Township side (Butler County), it's also 1% but you file with Berkheimer. Same rate and the same legal deadlines, but different collectors and different filing systems. Sales tax differs too: sales delivered on the Allegheny County side carry the extra 1% local tax (7% total), while the Butler County side is 6%. Getting this wrong means penalties and late fees.
It gets more complicated when you add employees. If your office is in Marshall Township but your employees live in Pittsburgh, Cranberry, or other municipalities, you're withholding at a different rate for each person, based on where they live, and sending all of it to your own worksite's collector, which passes it along to each employee's home district. Both sides also have a Local Services Tax of $52 a year per employee (with an exemption for people earning under $12,000 there), withheld from pay and remitted quarterly: to Keystone on the Marshall Township side, to Berkheimer on the Cranberry Township side.
We know how both Keystone Collections and Berkheimer work, and the rules for both counties. For Warrendale businesses specifically, the first thing we do is confirm which jurisdiction you're actually in. From there, we check what your payroll provider withheld against the right jurisdiction and your books, and we tell you what to fix.
