The Town Board on Oct. 15 approved a proposed settlement of tax certiorari proceedings for Rhinebeck Realty, LLC concerning the parcel at 1423 Route 300.

For 2023 and 2024 the assessed value would be reduced by $213,220 from $1,120,000 to $906,780; the 2024 assessed value will be held for 2025–2027 pursuant to RPTL §727 subject to statutory exceptions.

The board approved the settlement by recorded vote (3–0; one member absent).
