The tax rate for 2025-26 is set to increase 2.25 percent, from about $2.20 per $1,000 of assessed value to $2.25 per $1,000. The corresponding tax levy will increase from $329,271 to $338,976. 

Examples provided in the adopted budget show a home with a full-market value of $443,000 paid $973.79 in village taxes this year; next year, that number will be $995.68, an increase of 21.89. A home with a $241,000 full-market value will see its village taxes go up about $12, from $529.76 to $541.67. 

The three pots of money that make up the village budget are set to go up next year:
