New Hartford Adopts $21.2M 2027 Town Budget With 2% Tax Levy Cut
New Hartford town taxpayers will owe about $224,000 less in total town property tax next year, even as spending rises about $1.8 million.
The New Hartford Town Board adopted a $21.17 million budget for 2027 at its Wednesday, Oct. 21 meeting, the Rome Sentinel reported. That's up from $19.34 million this year, but the property tax levy drops 2%, to about $6.55 million from $6.77 million. Nobody spoke at the public hearing before the vote.
| Fund | 2027 |
|---|---|
| Police (part-town) | $7.34M |
| Highway | $6.06M |
| General | $5.17M |
| Fire districts | $1.47M |
What's new: money for a parks director and an administrative assistant to the supervisor, plus $517,000 for the New Hartford Public Library and $40,000 for a senior center.
Also at the meeting: the board declared an emergency at the town Recreation Center, where the roof is leaking, and accepted an $18,523 quote to seal it, pending the town attorney's review. Work could start in early November.
