Onteora School tax crunch slams Woodstock - by HV1
Onteora assistant superintendent for business Monica LaClair said the equalization rate and higher property values were to blame for Woodstock property owners in the school district seeing a close to twelve percent increase in their school-tax bills. District property owners received their bills at the beginning of September….
To help clear confusion and address the multitude of phone calls she gets, LaClair showed tax bills for a home in Olive and one in Woodstock, both assessed at $200,000. The tax bill for the Woodstock home is much higher because its fair market value is $419,000, while the Olive home’s value is $219,000.
