Horsham Township
Horsham Township, incorporated in 1717, is one of the oldest original municipalities in Montgomery County. The township contains two major drainage basins which are part of the Delaware River System. These basins determine where the township's open space and conservation areas are located. Today, the township is home to office complexes and corporate centers, as well as quality residential neighborhoods. Plenty of community-oriented shopping facilities are located in the township. The township also hosts a number of quality golf courses. It should be noted that some businesses and homes can be located in Horsham Township, but have a Hatboro or other nearby mailing address.  PUBLIC SERVICES:
The east and central portions of the township, which contain many large office buildings, are serviced by public water and sewer facilities. A municipal sewage treatment plant is expected to expand and double its capacity. A full-time police force serves the township. Fire protection is provided by volunteer companies. Residential trash disposal is arranged by private contractors.
RECREATION:
A township Parks Commission and a part-time director assist in running various programs. Little League programs are run by a private organization. For more information on what is available, please call 215-643-3131.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION:
SEPTA bus Route 55 connects the eastern portion of the township to Lower Bucks County, Eastern Montgomery County, and Philadelphia.
SHOPPING:
Community and specialty shopping and small businesses are located throughout the township. The nearest major shopping malls are the Montgomery Mall and the Willow Grove Park Mall.

Financing Your Home >Mortgage Fears
It is not unusual for home buyers to feel that the lender is being very critical during the loan approval process. The buyer is required to provide all kinds of financial information, and then the lender asks for more. If this is your experience, and the process seems discouraging, remember that none of this is personal!
Some lenders have more stringent requirements than others, but every lender requires a substantial amount of documentation on a mortgage loan. They must verify employment, credit history, and recent financial transactions involving your liquid assets. If your Visa payment was late, they may ask for a letter explaining why. If you are self-employed, they will ask for tax returns from at least three years and probably a year-to-date profit and loss statement.
Government regulations require mortgage companies to document everything. And while the loan officer may know that you are a reliable risk, the underwriters must be able to defend the loan to a federal bank examiner or auditor.
