Jericho board signs tax paperwork reflecting $143.87M budget; tax levy set at $118.85M
Summary
The board formally signed tax documents tied to the voter-approved $143,870,018 2025–26 budget and set the amount to be raised in property taxes at $118,854,935 during the Aug. 4 meeting.
The board voted to sign the town tax form needed to implement the voter-approved 2025–26 school budget of $143,870,018 and recorded the amount to be raised in property taxes as $118,854,935. The board described the action as a routine, ministerial step following the budget voters approved in May. "Be it resolved that the amount to be raised in property taxes will be $118,854,935 dollars," the board president read during the motion.
A board member clarified that the amount reflected what voters had approved in May and that unlike some prior years the district was not projecting a reduction from the voter-approved number between budget passage and tax certification. The board recorded the vote in the transcript as four in favor and none opposed.
