Comment: year-to-year tax rate comparisons are starting to become deceptively detached from actual tax increases since the town started 3 years ago implementing annual assessment increases. The assessment increases which vary widely by neighborhood, from 0% (rare) to as much as 6%, disguise the real dollar tax increases that homeowners pay out of pocket. Consequently, taxing authorities can claim no increases or even reductions (we are starting to see tax rate reductions more frequently) but still raise tax revenues by a few percentage points. These taxing authorities may trumpet their zero tax rate growth achievements at election time, but these achievements are little comfort to the homeowner who hears that taxes are kept flat but later learns that his escrow payments are going up 3% or more.
Still, the configurations are useful for comparison purposes and for an overall sense of Greenburgh homeowners extremely high tax burden. The dubious distinction of champion once again goes to the various Ardsley School District (ASD) configurations with the 500 or so homeowners in ASD, unincorporated Greenburgh (TOV), Hartsdale Fire District neighborhoods seeing an astounding total tax rate (before STAR) in excess of 3.7% of their assessed value annually, followed closely by ASD, TOV, Fairview Fire District (about 300 homes) and Ardsley Village (1666 parcels) . While various taxing jurisdictions can be found that are higher, including several in upstate NY, these are almost always areas with much lower home values. Taking into account the high price of homes in ASD, these home owners, both village and TOV, pay some of the highest property taxes found.
