Former Hatboro Court Building Sold For $300K
HATBORO, PA —The borough has gotten a building off its books.
The Hatboro Borough Council approved the sale of the former Hatboro District Court for $300,000 to Victorian Village at its meeting last week.
In October, the borough began seeking proposals to sell the District Court property and to authorize Solicitor Rebecca Geiser and Borough Manager Diane Hegele to proceed with advertising the request for proposals.

The building became obsolete after the consolidation of the Hatboro and Horsham courthouses.
Patch was the first to report that Montgomery County would consolidate the Hatboro and Horsham courts.
The district justice is former state representative Todd Stephens, who replaced retired judges Paul Leo in Hatboro and Harry Nesbitt in Horsham.
Nesbitt passed away after serving as district justice for 24 years before retiring in December.
Horsham District Court 38-1-22 —which serves Horsham and Hatboro —is located at 955 Horsham Rd., Suite 100, in the Babylon Business Park in Horsham. The court can be reached at 215-675-2040.
The consolidation was part of a county magisterial district realignment that eliminated the Hatboro court.
The plan stated that Montgomery County has 30 Magisterial Districts while others such as Bucks, Delaware, Chester, and Lancaster counties average 21 districts.
The plan called for boundary realignment of 12 districts while 17 others remained the same with the Hatboro court being eliminated.
