Important News for Boat Owners - Personal and Business
Effective Tax Year 2017 and After
The York County Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance O17-2 to reduce the Personal Property Tax Rate on all boats to $0.000000001 per $100 value, thereby eliminating the tax on boats beginning Tax Year 2017. Previously, the tax rate on boats under 5 tons was $4.00 per $100 value and the tax rate on boats over 5 tons was $1.00 per $100 value. Boats and their value will appear on the tax bill, however, the tax due will be $0.00 for the entire tax year (first half due June 25th and second half due December 5th, annually).
