Washington County Soars on Natural Gas Fees

Washington County’s natural gas impact fees hit a record $7.8 million this year—nearly double last year’s haul—thanks to a 48% statewide surge in drilling revenue. With the most active wells in the state, Washington County’s booming production is pulling in the biggest slice of the pie, leaving rivals like Susquehanna in the dust. Higher natural gas prices fueled the spike, and experts predict the trend will keep rolling as long as prices stay strong—proving that the financial windfall is directly tied to the region’s drilling boom.
