ROTTERDAM
District OKs tax rate figures
Many residents’ bills to increase
BY MICHAEL GOOT Gazette Reporter

    Rotterdam and Colonie homeowners in the Mohonasen school district will see a increase in taxes, while Guilderland residents will have lower bills under the final tax rates the Board of Education has approved.
    The school tax rate for Rotterdam has been set at $15.19 per $1,000 of assessed property value — an increase of roughly 25 cents. Owners of an average home assessed at $100,000 would pay about $25 more in taxes, for a total bill of $1,519. For Colonie residents, the tax rate increases 99 cents to $22.67 per $1,000 and the tax bill for owners of a $100,000 home would see their bill increase $99 to $2,267.
    For Guilderland, the new rate is $17.86 and residents of a similarly valued home would see their tax bill drop roughly $15 to $1,786.
    This is before any STAR exemptions.
    Assistant Superintendent for Business Denise Swezey said the reason for the differing rates is the different assessments in each of the three communities.
    “Because property values are going down, the equalization rate is going up, which is something we haven’t seen in a number of years. That shifts the amount of tax levy that each community has to pay,” she said.
    Rotterdam is assessed at full value, whereas Guilderland’s equalization rate increased from 79 percent to 85 percent and Colonie’s rate went from about 66 percent to 67 percent. This meant that Rotterdam residents are paying a greater share of the total taxes.
    Voters in May approved a $42.7 million budget by a vote of 1,323 to 881 that increased the tax levy by about 2.3 percent. The spending plan eliminated 17 full-time-equivalent positions to offset a state aid cut of about $1.9 million.
    The district appropriated an additional $500,000 of fund balance to reduce the tax levy, Swezey said. ...............................>>>>.................>>>>..................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01103&AppName=1
