The figures come from the town's own spreadsheet, provided by the Town Clerk's office on request. The 2026 column is this year's adopted budget; the 2027 column is the tentative budget, which becomes the preliminary budget the board takes to the November 5 hearing. Our story on what it means is here. Download the spreadsheet or a PDF.

Tax levy by fund

What each fund asks property owners to pay. Which lines appear on your bill depends on where you live: everyone pays the town-wide general and highway levies; the "outside village" funds exclude the Village of Schaghticoke; the districts apply only inside their boundaries.

The spreadsheet's preliminary and adopted columns were blank. PS is personal services (pay), CE is contractual expenses, EQ is equipment. Changes and percentages are our arithmetic. The budget the board adopts by November 20 may differ; we will update this page when it does.
