Greenburgh Town Board to Hold Hearing on Phasing-In Reassessment Taxes

Greenburgh, NY — The Greenburgh Town Board will meet Tuesday, July 12 to have a public hearing before enacting a local law that will phase-in costs for people whose taxes will go up because their homes received a higher reassessment.

Supervisor Faul Feiner said Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation into law that will authorize the Town of Greenburgh to allow a 66 percent exemption in year one and a 33 percent exemption in year two.

He said that Greenburgh reassessed properties for the first time in 60 years.

“Although most residents of the town will experience no tax hikes as a result of the reassessment, some have received bad new: significant tax hikes,” Feiner said.

He said the neighborhoods most affected were in Irvington, Hastings-on-Hudson and Edgemont.

Feiner credits Assemblyman Tom Abinanti, Assemblywoman Sandra Galef and Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins for pushing the legislation through Albany,

The public hearing on the local law will be at 7:30 p.m. at Greenburgh Town Hall.
