Property taxes are expected to rise in Westchester County under a proposed $2.7 billion budget for next year.
The county executive’s proposal calls for a 3.3% property tax increase while avoiding layoffs and program cuts.
For a home valued at $500,000, the increase would amount to about $34 more per year.
The budget would close a $113 million gap in part by leaving currently vacant county positions unfilled.
The county executive says the additional tax revenue would help maintain services including youth programs, food assistance and affordable housing.
