PORT JERVIS – Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus Tuesday night presenting his proposed 2024 county budget to the Association of Towns, Villages and Cities meeting in Port Jervis.
He said the proposed county tax rate is $2.34, which is lower than it was both last year and in 2014, when he took office. It remains the lowest tax rate in Orange County since the 1960s, he said.
“Despite the hundreds of millions of dollars in unfunded mandates created by state legislators, the county budget once again lowers county property taxes and meets these mandates,” Neuhaus said.
His spending plan will now go to the county legislature for its review and potential modifications.
