Frequently Asked Questions

Living in Red Lion Borough

How do I know if I live in Red Lion Borough?

Simply because you have a Red Lion mailing address does not necessarily mean you live in the Borough of Red Lion. The Red Lion Post Office handles mail for Red Lion Borough, parts of Windsor Township and York Township. 

When is your office open?

We are open Monday through Friday from 8 AM - 4:30 PM. We are closed on the following holidays: New Year's Day • Presidents' Day • Memorial Day • July 4th • Labor Day • Thanksgiving Day and the following Friday •  Christmas Eve • Christmas Day.

Can I apply for a handicapped parking space?

Please visit our All Other Forms and Publications page where you can download our Handicapped Parking Policy and Application.

I am elderly and not able to do some household tasks such as rake my leaves and clear the snow and/or ice from my sidewalks.  How can I find someone to help me with this?

The Rent-A-Kid program, sponsored by the York County Area Agency on Aging (YCAAA), is a unique, intergenerational program bringing senior citizens and teenagers together.  York County senior citizens, 60 years of age or older, who need help with household chores, odd jobs, and yard work are matched with a teenager in their area who can assist.  The recommended payment is $5.00 per hour, but is negotiable depending upon the job.

Don't wait until the snow is already on the ground or your grass is knee-high!  Arrange for help with your chores BEFORE you need it.  Call 717-771-9103 or 1-800-632-9073 for information on Rent-A-Kid participants in your area.

Who is your Animal Control Officer?

We contract with Michellee Klugh Animal Control Services. Her phone number is 717-916-1413 or 717-542-3047. Email - This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Water & Sewer

What are the options for paying my water bill?

Why is my water bill higher than normal?
