Maybrook board presents estimated tax increases for Montgomery and Hamptonburgh residents
Summary
Board members presented example tax calculations showing higher bills under the tentative levy; after reductions the board says the overall levy increase was reduced and provided sample figures for $79,800 and $125,000 assessed values in Montgomery and Hamptonburgh.
Mayor Dennis Leahy walked through comparative examples for how the levy changes would affect residents in neighboring towns that are partially within village tax rolls. For Town of Montgomery example figures, Leahy cited a tax‑rate increase from $18.73 to $21.16 and an example increase for a $79,800 assessed home from $1,479.65 to $1,688.57. For a $125,000 assessed home, the transcript lists an increase from $2,341.25 to $2,645.00.
For Town of Hamptonburgh the board provided an example moving from $10.82 to $12.34, showing a $125,000 assessed home rising from $1,352.50 to $1,542.50 under the modified figures. Leahy said the modified levy reduced the overall balance to levy from $2,622,401 to $2,520,758. These figures were presented as examples to illustrate the household impact; the board later adopted changes intended to reduce the final levy increase.
