Our
Assessor, Anne Sapienza, is the official who estimates the
value of real property within the Town's boundaries. This
value is converted into an assessment, which is one component
in the computation of real property tax bills. The Town
of York is the designated assessing authority for the Town
of York, and for school district property in the town. The
Assessor's office is also responsible for processing all
real property exemptions.
