Property Tax Reassessment

2027 Countywide Reassessment

The following information was shared by the Director of Property Assessment for Lancaster County. In addition, Mrs. Sherri Stull, Cocalico's Business Manager, discussed the upcoming reassessment at the School Board meeting held on December 16, 2024.


Lancaster County is preparing for the 2027 property reassessment and encourages property owners within the county to do the same. Counties are required by law to conduct periodic reassessments of all properties. The County of Lancaster previously completed reassessments in 2017.

Property owners can begin checking their property record through the Property Assessment Website to ensure that all data on file is correct. Property owners who find inaccurate or missing information may complete a Property Correction Form or may contact the Property Assessment Office by emailing [email protected].

A reassessment is the process used to determine accurate and fair property values within Lancaster County. The process of the assessment will begin in 2025 for the 2027 Reassessment. In 2025 and 2026, an assessor from the Lancaster County Property Assessment Office may visit your property for an outside-only inspection, including taking photos from the exterior of the property. Assessment staff will have county identification, and their vehicles will be clearly marked designating them to be from the Property Assessment Office.

The purpose of a reassessment is to ensure the fairness of taxes relative to property values, not to increase taxes. Reassessment does not generate additional revenue for the county or other real estate taxing bodies. Even though a property’s assessment may increase, taxing bodies must adjust their current tax rate to remain revenue neutral, before making any other adjustments.

The property assessment office is ready to assist residents with preparation for the 2027 reassessment. For more information, please click here.
