Committee sets public hearing for possible tax-cap override during 2026 budget process
Summary
The Ways and Means Committee set a public hearing date for a local law that would allow the county to override the property-tax cap if needed during the 2026 budget process; the administrator emphasized the hearing provides an option, not a decision to exceed the cap.
The County Administrator asked the committee to set a date for a public hearing on a proposed local law that would authorize the county to override the property-tax cap during the upcoming budget process. “It doesn't mean you will go over the tax cap, it just gives you the option,” the administrator said.
Committee members moved and seconded the measure to set the hearing date; the resolution to set a public hearing carried on a voice vote. The public hearing will allow residents and stakeholders to comment before any decision to adopt a local law is made.
