The Big Five

Every number here comes straight from the Medina County Auditor, the same records your agent pulls to price a home and a lender checks before they write a loan. We update them every month so you're always looking at current data. These are real sale prices from real Medina County transactions, and you can verify every one of them at the auditor's website. Whether you're buying and trying to figure out if a price actually makes sense, or thinking about selling and want to know what homes like yours have been getting, The Big Five are where that conversation starts.

1
$310,000
Median sale price The midpoint of all home sales here in the last 12 months. Half sold for more, half for less. If your budget is above this number, most of the market is in range. Below it, homes are available but you're working with the lower half of what's out there. Unlike an average, one high-priced sale doesn't throw this number off.
2
-16.2%
vs. last year Compares this year's median sale price to last year's. A dip doesn't mean the neighborhood is losing value. Prices often pull back after a hot year. For buyers, a negative number means more purchasing power than 12 months ago. For sellers, it's useful context on where the market sits today. See the price history chart below for the full picture.
3
87
Homes sold How many homes actually changed hands here in the last 12 months. A higher number means an active market. Homes sell quickly and buyers have more options. A lower number means a quieter market with less buyer traffic. It also tells you how much to trust the median price above. More sales means more data behind it, not a figure built on a handful of transactions.
4
1.2%
Annual tax rate Your yearly property tax bill as a percent of what you paid for the home. At 1.2%, a $400,000 home costs about $4,800 a year in taxes, roughly $400 a month added on top of your mortgage. Compare this across neighborhoods to see where your dollar goes further.
5
+24%
Above county value The county auditor has an official value on file for every home. It is what your property tax bill is based on. That number gets updated every few years and tends to run behind the real market. This tells you how much more homes here have actually been selling for above that county estimate. When you look up a home on the auditor's website, the value you see is not what you'd pay.

The median sale price in the stats above combines every property type sold here. For a more accurate number, use the row that matches what you're shopping for. Property types with fewer than 3 sales in the period roll into the combined total and won't appear as a separate row.

Numbers come from Medina County public deed records, filed with the county auditor and open to the public. Residential homes only. Includes for-sale-by-owner and foreclosure sales not tracked through an agent, so figures may run slightly different from what an agent's report shows.

Prices reflect conditions at the time of sale. Economic events like interest rate cycles, pandemic-era demand shifts, and changes in local housing supply can cause year-over-year swings that overstate or understate what the underlying market is actually doing. The trend is useful context, not a final word.

Twelve things most buyers never think to ask until after the offer is signed. Each card is sourced and specific to this neighborhood.

Median sale price — last 12 months

The median sale price in York Township was $310,000 last year, based on 87 recorded home sales. Median means the midpoint — half those homes sold for more, half for less. It is more reliable than an average because one very expensive sale cannot pull the number up. Sales ranged from $60,000 to $625,000.

If your budget is near or above this number, most of what sells here is in your range. Below it, homes exist but you are working in the lower half of the market. Use it as a starting point, not a ceiling.

Year-over-year price trend

Median sale prices in York Township are down approximately 16.2% from the prior 12-month period. One year of movement does not define a neighborhood — check the price history chart below for the longer view.

A price dip does not mean the neighborhood is losing ground. Markets pull back after active years. For buyers, this means more purchasing power than 12 months ago. For sellers, it is honest context on where the market sits right now — not a reason to panic.

School district

York Township is in the Buckeye Local School District. York, Litchfield and Liverpool Townships consolidated into Buckeye Local in 1952, and every Buckeye building sits on one stretch of Columbia Road inside York Township, on addresses that read Medina. Buckeye's own description adds part of the city of Medina, and the city extends into southeastern York Township, so a parcel inside the city limits here may not follow the same line. Confirm the district at the parcel.

We don't publish school ratings or commentary — visit the district directly for enrollment, programs, and current performance data.

Water and sewer

York Township is predominantly on private well water and household septic systems. There is no public water or sewer infrastructure in most of the area. Individual wells are drilled on-lot; septic systems are permitted and inspected through the Medina County Health Department.

Ask for the well age, last service date, and the most recent septic inspection report before you write an offer. These are negotiating points, not afterthoughts.

Estimated annual property taxes

The estimated annual property tax for a typical home in York Township is around $3,777, based on current county auditor records. Your actual bill will vary depending on exemptions you qualify for and when your home was last assessed.

Most lenders roll property taxes into your monthly mortgage payment through escrow — so your real payment will be higher than just principal and interest. Budget roughly $315 a month for taxes on top of your base loan payment. When comparing two homes at the same price in different areas, the tax rate alone can shift your true monthly cost by hundreds of dollars.

Typical parcel size

The median parcel size for residential sales in York Township is 1.28 acres — solid rural scale. The range tells the real story: parcels run from under 0.1 acres on clustered and condo-style properties to more than 33 acres on the township's larger rural lots. About half of recent sales exceeded an acre. If land is part of why you're looking here, it's available.

Don't assume the median describes every property. Ask your agent to filter by lot size early. The difference between a quarter-acre and a 10-acre rural parcel changes the lifestyle, the well and septic obligations, and the price significantly.

Major roads and highway access

State Routes 18, 57 and 252 all run through York Township and meet inside it. Medina County Transit serves any address in the county on demand rather than on fixed routes.

Government structure and taxes

York Township is a township — not a city or village. Three elected trustees and a fiscal officer handle road maintenance, zoning, and local services. There is no mayor and no municipal income tax, though the Buckeye Local Local School District collects a separate voter-approved earned income tax. If you are moving from a municipality that levies its own income tax, your net take-home changes. Buckeye Local levies no school district income tax, unlike some neighbouring districts.

Township government means fewer services than a city — factor that in for trash pickup, street lighting, and snow removal. Compare your current municipal income tax rate before assuming your monthly budget stays the same.

Natural gas vs. propane

Natural gas lines do not extend throughout York Township. Most homes are heated with propane, stored in an above-ground tank on the property. Propane prices fluctuate seasonally and must be budgeted separately from your mortgage and taxes.

Ask the seller which fuel the home uses and request the last 12 months of propane bills. Estimates vary widely — ask the seller for actual prior-year bills rather than budgeting from an estimate.

Flood zones

Most of York Township sits in FEMA Zone X, which carries minimal flood risk. As with any property purchase, pull the FEMA Flood Map for the specific address to confirm the designation before you close.

Flood zone designation affects insurance requirements and can affect mortgage terms. A quick address lookup on the FEMA map costs nothing and takes two minutes.

Emergency services

York Township sits immediately northwest of the city of Medina, so Cleveland Clinic Medina Hospital is the nearest emergency room and it is close rather than a long drive. Response times in rural parts of the township run longer than in a city.

If medical response time is a factor for anyone in your household, factor the drive to the nearest emergency room into your due diligence.

Broadband and internet

Internet service in this area varies by address and provider. Wired options including cable and fiber may be available along established road corridors; availability and providers differ by location. No single provider serves every address in the township.

Check the specific property address on the FCC Broadband Map before you close. Provider availability at a neighboring home does not guarantee the same service at the property you are buying.

What is the minimum lot size in York Township Ohio

York Township's zoning resolution, adopted in 1950 and amended through December 3, 2025, sets seven designations: R-1 Low Density Residential, R-2 Medium Density Residential, C-1 Commercial, I-1 Industrial, M-U Multi-Use, the M-C Mallet Creek District and an R-1 / PUD overlay.

Does York Township Ohio have public water and sewer

York Township's zoning resolution treats on site sewage treatment as the norm, and in the Mallet Creek District at the township centre a lot must be large enough to meet Medina County Health Department or Ohio EPA requirements for a septic system, with written approval required before a zoning certificate is issued. The resolution's wording about connecting once sanitary sewer becomes available records that sewer has not reached the township centre. Public water and sewer in the township exist inside planned unit developments, which the resolution requires to be served by approved public systems. The county utility is the Medina County Sanitary Engineering Department, 791 West Smith Road, 330-723-9585, which permits every water and sewer connection.

Who provides electricity in York Township Ohio

Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative's own district map places York Township in District 6, together with Grafton Township in Lorain County and Litchfield and Liverpool townships in Medina County.

York Township publishes no new resident utility list of its own, so the electric and gas answer for a given address has to come from the address. Lit Fiber announced with the cooperative that from spring 2024 any cooperative member in Medina County on co-op electric service could sign up for Lit Fiber internet, so which utility serves an address can decide its internet options.
