The City of York has launched a brand update that updates images and text to better share the values and assets that enable York to thrive as a community. Check out the story below and the attached video to see some of the new material.
Where the heart of the country meets the crossroads of opportunity. Perfectly positioned in the middle of the U.S., York is a thriving community, combining small-town charm and modern amenities. As our iconic hot air balloon water tower represents, we invite you to rise above the ordinary and discover a place where connections are made, and new heights are reached. Whether you're her to live, work, or visit, York has everything you need and more.
Fall weather brings chilly nights and cozy conversations around a fire. If you are taking that cozy experience to the backyard with a fire pit or outdoor fireplace, its important to follow the fire pit safety rules in the city of York code.
If you are building a fire pit or outdoor fireplace, use the Fire Pit form to apply for a permit from the York Fire Department. A Permit is not required for portable fire pits or chimineas that are commercially designed and intended to confine and control outdoor wood fires.
When using any outdoor fire pit or device, note the following safety rules in the City of York Code: City Ordinance: Section 18-6 – Outdoor Fireplaces & Firepits
