Hard to open a Newsday link. But here it is. (My taxes went up $850 THIS YEAR) Based off a 1.8% increase next year, it should go up an additional $850 next year.
Long Island school districts project an average 1.8% rise in property taxes next year — the lowest increase in five years and one reflecting an economic slowdown triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Four districts — Bridgehampton, Greenport, Three Village and Wantagh — have announced tentative plans to seek tax-cap overrides for the 2021-22 school year. Local officials cited various reasons for considering higher taxation, including a desire to maintain popular student programs and avoid teacher layoffs.
Preliminary tax plans for more than 120 districts in Nassau and Suffolk counties are spelled out in a recent report issued by the state comptroller's office in Albany. The annual report serves as a sort of early alert system for local taxpayers and others who vote in school elections.
Under state law, at least 60% of voters must approve any proposed override of tax-cap restrictions within individual districts. Polling this year is scheduled for May 18.
New York State sets a baseline restriction on annual increases in school property taxes of 2% or the inflation rate, whichever is lower. This year's baseline is 1.23% due to a sluggish economy and low inflation.
"Given the economic challenges that people face these days, I think districts are cognizant of that and are budgeting conservatively," said Ron Masera, superintendent of Center Moriches schools and president of the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association.

YUP, in typical Three village fashion, they want to go above the cap. And these idiots living here will vote to pass it. I'm so done with getting ripped off here.
