2026-2027 Tax Levy Increase
2.100%
Tax levy limit is 2.100%
While the tax levy limit is often referred to as a “2% tax cap”, each district is required to annually calculate their specific tax levy limit in accordance with a formula that accounts for individual district conditions and variables. For districts across New York State, this calculation rarely results in a limit of exactly 2%; calculated rates can vary as high as 6% or more. For Whitesboro CSD, the proposed tax levy increase of 2.100% does not exceed the tax levy limit, and requires a simple majority of votes for approval.
