City Service: All -> Tax Information
| Answer | | · How are tax rates determined? Each year the City through York City Council, the County through the York County Commissioners and the School District through the City School Board establish a tax millage. This millage, when multiplied against the assessed value of your property, results in the Face tax due. State law allows for a 2% discount, if paid within 60 days (rebate) and a 10% penalty, if not paid within 120 days (penalty). These dates are reflected below for 2010. [ Back to Top ]
