Yes. Bills due June 25th and December 5th that are sent with payment stubs are now mailed to a secure processing facility in Baltimore, Maryland. However, if you are not sending the payment stub with your payment or need a receipt, please mail to Treasurer, County of York, PO 251 Yorktown, VA 23690.

For the semi-annual tax bills due in June and December, the county utilizes a PO Box in Maryland with our bank to process the payments. This is due to the large increase in volume that occurs with semi-annual billings. Geographically, this is the closest processing center the county’s bank has for our use. This is a very fast and efficient way to process the 10,000 to 12,000 items sent twice per year to the Maryland address. This process has been in place for several years.

Taxpayers can always mail payments to the office if they do not wish to have the mail routed to Maryland. There are also free online e-check payments using the portal or Quick Pay options.
