Questions about your 2025-26 School Tax Bill Information?

  1. If your school tax bill went up, please first look at your reassessed value. Your town assessor sent this information, and you would have received notice of your reassessment value in the Spring of 2025. In most cases this year, if your tax bill went up significantly, it is because the value of your home (reassessment) increased significantly.
  2. In the Town of Busti, the school tax rate went from $22.49 to $12.27 per $1000. This decreased school tax rate is typical when there is a town reassessment.
  3. Your school tax bill is calculated by taking your total assessed value, divided by 1000, multiplied by the school tax rate. In the Town of Busti, the school tax rate is $12.27. So, for example, if a house is assessed at $100,000, the formula would be as follows: $100,000/1000 x $12.27, and that is the amount you will be charged for school taxes.
  4. Southwestern Central School District is not getting any additional money because of this reassessment. Southwestern School Central District is receiving the same amount that was voted on by taxpayers in the Spring - $14,711,072.
  5. If you have questions about your assessment, please contact your local assessor.
