York and Belmont County
York is associated with Belmont County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
York by land and water
The Census records 0.46 square miles of water within York, or 1.8% of its total area. That share is close to Belmont County’s 1.7%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, York township has 17.4 times the land area of nearby Powhatan Point village (1.47 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
