As part of this ruling Franklin Park was lumped with 60 other municipalities forming the Northern Allegheny County taxing district. Keystone Collection Group was designated as the new taxing entity. To simplify where to make payments, Franklin Park has designated Keystone Collections to also collect the Local Service Tax starting in 2012. You will still submit the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2011 to Franklin Park. Now you will be able to make your quarterly payments electronically. If you use Keystone for earned income, you will now be able to submit both tax payments by the same portal. The manual entry for payments will also be available. Keystone will be sending information to all Franklin Park employers later this year about this change. The PSD CODE FOR FRANKLIN PARK IS 710702 when submitting payments. This code will be used to designate Franklin Park so Keystone can submit payment back to the right municipality.
