Town of Crawford Supervisor Charles E. Carnes is once again pleased to announce the 2025 budget will once again be under the New York State Tax Cap. We have been under the Tax Cap every year since it was enacted. Despite high inflation and increased costs including insurance and retirement and Police services we were able to maintain a small increase in taxes of 2.975% for general services (A) and no increase in the highway rate(DA) and just a 1.81% increase in the overall rate including all budget lines and special districts. This amounts to about a $44.00 annual increase for a home with a market value of over $400,000. The Town remains one of the most financially stable Towns in Orange County and we look forward to several new exciting project in 2025.
