School districts are responsible for the tax levy. In May 2024, voters passed the 2024-25 school budget, which established a tax levy of $89,372,916 with a tax levy increase of 1.50%, which is below the allowable tax cap.
However, other factors that affect property taxes, such as changes in property assessment and base proportions, are determined by the Town of Orangetown Assessor. To view the Assessment Calendar and the Orangetown Final Assessment Roll information, go to the Town of Orangetown Assessor’s webpage.
In addition, equalization rates are determined by New York State to ensure that owners of properties with similar full market values pay an equivalent amount of taxes. The 2024 equalization rate for the Town of Orangetown and the Village of Grand View-on-Hudson is 34.14%, which means that property in the town (and village) is assessed at less than market value. The 2024 equalization rate for the Village of Piermont is 100%, which means property assessments in the village are roughly equal to full market value.
