If you haven't found the latest York County property tax bill in your mailbox yet, you soon will. And the rate will be higher.The 2016 budget approved in December by the York County Board of Commissioners saw a tax millage rate increase from 4.52 to 5.16.
That would be an increase of $84.06 or a total of $677.74 for the owner of an average York County home, which is assessed at $131,345.Incumbent commissioners ran for reelection in 2015 stressing fiscal responsibility and telling voters they hadn't raised taxes in five of the last six years. Two of those commissioners, Doug Hoke and Chris Reilly, were reelected.
Hoke, who voted for the tax increase but called it one of his hardest decisions as a commissioner, said the rise in taxes was unavoidable to maintain fiscal solvency and responsibility in the county."We have to do our job and pass a balanced budget by the end of the year," he said. "There were a lot of reasons it was a perfect storm."

Generally I have been pleased with how the County has held the line on taxes. And (depending on your school district- mine is Central), I have also been pleased there as well.
