COUNTY TAX RATE TO CHANGE

Earlier this week, the Niagara County legislature adopted its $322 million budget.The average county tax rate will increase by 1.16%. The rate varies by town and city based on each municipality’s property valuation record.

What does that mean for Gasport?

Taxpayers in Hartland will pay $7.74 per $1,000 of assessed value while Royalton taxpayers will pay $7.89.

According to city-data.com, the median home value in Royalton is $105,951, meaning the median COUNTY property tax will be around $836.

That same website says Hartland homes have a median worth of $96,195, so the median COUNTY tax/household will be approximately $743.
