Town Board - Aug 26, 2026
The Board will hold an October 28 hearing on a local law overriding the state property tax cap for fiscal 2027. It's a precautionary step — it doesn't raise taxes by itself, but keeps the option open during budget deliberations.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
