Assessment note: this home is assessed at $71,000, well below the ~$119,450 its asking price implies at Lancaster County's common level ratio (50.0%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $1,398/year. Worth pricing in.
Recomputed from the county assessment ($71,000, 2018 base year) × current millage. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Lancaster County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
