Topics getting the most attention in Port Chester public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Outstanding parking ticket collection IMA with Town of Rye
The board was due an update on the agreement with the Town of Rye for collecting unpaid parking tickets. Unpaid fines mean lost revenue for the Village.
FY 2026-2027 tax warrant
The tax warrant was adopted, putting this year's budget levy and unpaid sewer rents on residents' tax bills.
FY 2026-2027 Village Budget and Tax Levy
The proposed budget raises the tax levy 4.38% — about $1.48 million — which is 2.5% over the state tax cap. That could mean a bigger property tax bill. There's a public hearing April 6 before the board adopts it by May 1.
Homestead/Non-Homestead Tax Base Shift
Home values in the Port Chester school district keep climbing even as sales slow — so much so that homestead properties now carry a larger share of the tax levy than non-homestead, an unexpected shift that benefits other taxpayers.
