Shoreham board approves financials, records $135,466.51 in outstanding taxes
Summary
The Shoreham Board approved operating financials and returned the 2025–26 tax warrant; the village reports $135,466.51 in outstanding property taxes and faces a $7,000 snow-removal budget overrun.
The Village of Shoreham Board of Trustees approved routine financials at its March 11 meeting and returned the 2025–26 tax roll and warrant under the Real Property Tax Law.
Mayor Thomas P. Spier told the board that of the $829,190.30 levied for the fiscal year, the village had received $788,284.07 through Feb. 28. "Of the total of $829,190.30 due, the Village has received $788,284.07 as of February 28, 2026," the record shows; the board listed $40,906.23 in unpaid current-year property taxes and $94,560.28 in prior-year delinquencies, for a total outstanding of $135,466.51. The motion to return the tax warrant passed unanimously, 5–0.
Spier also warned that the heavy 2026 winter has driven the Snow Removal Fund over budget. "We are over budget on our Snow Removal Fund, but that should be expected considering the huge storms we have had so far in 2026," he said, and later reported the village had spent $25,000 on snow removal — $7,000 more than the $18,000 budgeted. Board members approved the minutes and the operating expenditures (total operating expenditures reported as $45,510.06) in the same consent motions.
The board's actions were procedural: returning the tax warrant does not alter collection authority; residents with delinquent accounts remain listed in the record. The board approved the financial motions 5–0 and moved on to other business.
