Learn How York Township
Works For You

America’s richest blessing is her people. They are the real strength in her grass roots, and that is what township government is all about. It is often described as “the last bastion of true democracy”.

Township government is the oldest form of government in our country, yet it remains one of the least understood. York Township works to provide essential services and support that enhance the quality of life for our residents. Through offices like the Supervisor, Assessor, Clerk, and Highway Department, we ensure efficient operations, from maintaining roads and managing property assessments to offering community programs and assistance services.

We are small, accessible, responsive, and cost-effective, accounting for less than two percent of the total real estate tax bill. It is our pleasure to serve the community with transparency and dedication— to learn more or for the history click here.
