Proposed Smithtown Town Budget Shows Slight Tax Increase
If approved, locals could expect an increase of less than $50 this year.
Town Supervisor Patrick Vecchio said Monday he will present the proposed town budget for 2013 of $103 million to the town board at Tuesday's board meeting.
The tax increase to locals would be $46.83 a year, according to Vecchio.
Although the proposed town budget for 2013 is $103 million, Vecchio warned that there are many funds of the proposed budget that taxpayers do not pay taxes on, fixed costs the town does not have the authority to adjust.
