The Chazy Union Free School District Board of Education adopted a 2025–26 tax levy not to exceed $5,859,307.00 and directed a tax warrant to begin Sept. 1, 2025 and end Oct. 31, 2025; the board also applied $693,870.00 from fund balance and retained $575,520.00 as surplus.
The Chazy Union Free School District Board of Education voted to adopt a 2025–26 tax levy not to exceed $5,859,307.00, including omitted taxes and STAR, and a $38,000 library levy. The resolution fixed equalized tax rates by town and authorized the Board President and district officials to affix a tax warrant authorizing collection from Sept. 1, 2025 through Oct. 31, 2025.
The board also resolved to retain $575,520.00 as surplus and apply $693,870.00 from the unreserved fund balance to reduce the levy. The motion referenced provisions of the Real Property Tax Law and directed the Tax Collector to begin collection and to apply a 0% penalty for taxes paid in September and a 2% penalty for taxes collected in October, per the adopted schedule. The total taxable valuation reported in the resolution was $380,007,828 across 1,855 parcels, with the district's total levy amount reported as $5,859,307.00.
Board members reviewed June 2025 financial reports (monthly financial summary, treasurer’s monthly report, appropriation status report) before adopting the levy and warrant. The board recorded that the detailed breakdown between school tax bills and STAR reimbursement would be applied once county tax‑roll details become available and the tax warrant would be modified at that time.
