Dobbs Ferry trustees adopt 2026–27 budget and authorize tax levy, 7–0
Summary
The Village of Dobbs Ferry Board of Trustees unanimously approved the 2026–27 village budget and authorized the tax levy at its April 28 meeting after a prior public hearing; trustees said the budget remains under the cap.
The Village of Dobbs Ferry Board of Trustees voted unanimously on April 28 to adopt the 2026–27 village budget and to authorize the tax levy needed to collect the funds outlined in that budget.
Trustee Rosenberg moved to adopt the budget and Trustee Gupta seconded the motion. Trustees discussed that a public hearing had been held at a previous session and that the proposed spending stays under the statutory cap. The board then approved the budget by voice vote, recorded as 7–0 in favor.
Shortly after the budget vote, the trustees voted to authorize the tax levy and warrant that will collect the revenues described in the adopted budget. Deputy Mayor Galen and staff confirmed the levy sets the collection mechanism for next fiscal year; that motion also passed unanimously.
Why it matters: Adopting the budget and setting the levy finalizes the village’s spending plan for the next fiscal year and triggers the administrative steps needed to collect property tax revenues. The board and staff noted the budget reflects projected capital needs while keeping the levy within the cap.
What’s next: With the budget and levy adopted, staff will proceed with implementation and any required public notices. The board also continued later business on capital bond authorizations and other agenda items at the same meeting.
