Patchogue trustees review 2025‑26 tax roll totaling $13.84 million; collection dates, penalties outlined

A formal reading presented to the Village Board on May 27 set the 2025‑26 tax roll total at $13,839,649.13. The reading allocated the total as follows: $9,505,649.69 for the village current budget, $1,969,426.00 for refuse levies, $2,200,805.04 for the sewer district levy, and $163,768.40 for the Business Improvement District assessment.

The reading instructs collection of those sums without penalty between June 2025 and July 2025. Taxes not paid during that window are subject to an additional charge described in the reading as 5 percent for the initial month and 1 percent for each subsequent month until paid. The tax roll and warrant are to be returned to the village treasurer on or before February 2026, along with an account of taxes remaining due and unpaid, showing each parcel and corresponding unpaid amounts.

A trustee moved to approve the 2025‑26 tax form during the meeting; the transcript records the motion but does not include a vote tally or formal recorded outcome in the excerpt provided. The reading itself was presented as a formal municipal command from the tax assessor to collect the sums listed.
