The amount of the tax is based on the assessed value. The sale price/appraised value and the assessed value have no relationship. York County Assessments (717-771-9232) determines the assessed value. For appeal information: www.york-county.org. The Tax Collector has absolutely nothing to do with assessing an improvement to a property and cannot estimate your tax liability.
Follow the below formula for an approximate tax value when you receive a new assessment, for an improvement such as a dwelling, addition, garage, deck, etc.

Taxing authorities can bill you from the date of Use & Occupancy. This will create bills for a partial prior year and the current tax year. Any future improvements can create additional bills, which are based on the improvement. Each municipality in York County has its own Tax Collector. Tax Collectors are independent, only paid to mail out tax bills, and collect payments.
Make all checks payable to: Catherine M. Bilger T.C. Mail payments or refer to the following schedule:
