330 Pa. Superior Ct. 74 (1984) 478 A.2d 1357 TOWNSHIP OF ELDRED, et al., Appellants, v. COUNTY OF MONROE, Nancy Shukaitis, Jesse D. Pierson and Thomas R. Joyce and Monroe County Board of Assessment Appeals. Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Argued March 28, 1984. Filed July 20, 1984. *75 Cyril D. Higgins, Stroudsburg, for appellants. Robert H. Nothstein, Stroudsburg, for appellees. Before BROSKY, WIEAND and McEWEN, JJ. BROSKY, Judge: This appeal is from the dismissal of appellant's suit in equity, challenging a settlement in a taxpayer's suit. This matter comes within the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth Court. 42 Pa.C.S. § 762. A case involving, as this one does, a county tax comes within the language "local ordinance or resolution." See In re Appeal of Pennsylvania Eastern Seal Society from Real Estate Taxation Assessment, 67 Pa.Cmwlth. 94, 445 A.2d 1369 (1982). Thus, this case comes within the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth Court. We note that: Commonwealth v. Sensi, 287 Pa.Super. 452 at 454, 430 A.2d 691 at 692 (1981). It is also true here that: Osser v. City of Philadelphia, 295 Pa.Super. 447 at 449, 441 A.2d 1317 at 1318 (1982). Accordingly, this appeal is transferred to the Commonwealth Court.
