BUDGET INFORMATION & SCHOOL TAXES
Property Tax Exemptions & Estimated Savings
The district participates in several New York State tax exemption programs. These programs support seniors, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and volunteer firefighters.
Savings for eligible homeowners
Families who qualify may see the school tax portion of their bill reduced. Exemptions work like a discount applied to part of the assessed value of a home.
It is one way New York State recognizes both financial need and community service.

How it works
