How do i find out what township I'm in when I move?

If you get a copy of the tax paperwork for the house it should be listed on there I think. Not sure of any other way though...short of asking your neighbors!!

Look at a map. You bought a house and you don't know where it is?

It should be on the copy of your contract that you have -- a realtor should fill out the full address, followed by the township, and county. If they did not list it but on the off chance that it is Dauphin County - you can go to the Dauphin Co. Recorder of Deeds office website and do a search by owners full name - all recorded documents from 1976 on are online. If you are not moving to Dauphin Co. I would just wait till settlement - it will be on the top of your HUD, Deed, Mtg. and Note... or just ask the realtor -- trust me I have plenty of people who ask me at the settlement table.

Of course I know where my house is. ?Just not sure of the township.

Does this help? You can to the county website and check out zoning and ordnances for townships.

You may be able to contact the Lancaster Co Property Assessment office and give them your new address. (717) 299-8381.

Also, your MLS listing should include the township.

Is this really necessary?

I'm surprised, too. Local taxes and municipal regulations were definitely a consideration for us both times we bought a home. After all, if we were planning to stay in our current home long-term, our township would require us to give up our septic and go on public sewer to the tune of $10,000 to $20,000 in personal costs. I'd hate to buy and move, then be surprised with that kind of info. Although that exact situation did happen to our best friends.

Maybe it wasn't as much of a consideration for her.

All i wanted was LS school district. ?So, we found a house that we liked in LS, but township is not really a big deal for me, I just wanted to know. ?plus, i'm not originally from lancaster so I dont know names of townships. ?plus, we are close to the city still so i was not sure if it was still considered lancaster city or not....I found out by the way, we are in West Lampeter. ?
