LANCASTER COUNTY REASSESSMENT 2027:

Reassessment Notices will soon be sent out by Lancaster County.  New assessed values are expected to be significantly higher than current values.  PLEASE NOTE: Once the new values are final, all taxing entities (municipal, school, and county) will need to lower their tax rates to remain "revenue neutral."  Please do not use the current 2026 tax rates with your new assessment values to try to determine your new tax amounts or the new tax amount will, in most cases, appear incredibly high!  The Reassessment is a County function - the Township is not involved.  If you have questions or concerns, contact the County at 717-390-7742 (this number will be active once the assessment notices are mailed out).  CLICK HERE to visit the Lancaster County Reassessment website.

THE WOODY WASTE SITE IS NOW OPEN.

(1.61 mills general tax, 0.08 fire water supply tax, and 0.26 mill fire company tax).  To determine your Township real estate tax, multiply your total property assessment by 0.00195 (example: Property is assessed at $200,000, multiply by 0.00195 to determine Township real estate tax of $395). 

For 2026, Township trash service (Republic Waste) fees will remain at $72.50 per quarter OR $285.00 for the entire year.
