The Town of Kearny will host a truth in taxation public hearing on Wednesday, July 15, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. in the Kearny Town Council Chambers at 355 Alden Rd.

  The Town of Kearny is proposing an increase in its primary property levy of $60,372 or 38.45% over the current level. The proposed increase is exclusive of increased primary property taxes received from new construction. It is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter-approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides.

  The amount proposed above will cause Kearny’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $314.80. Without the proposed tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed on a $100,000 home would have been $227.38.
