Your share of the 2022 budget

About $1,775 per resident a year, or $4.86 a day

Property taxes 87%From the state 10%Fees & charges 2%Interest, fines & other 1%Other taxes & licenses <1%

Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Piermont collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
