The Town of Mamaroneck’s 2026 Budget increases property taxes 2.83 percent—an average increase o $292 for town wide properties and $24 for village properties. The budget includes $3.3 million for Capital Projects on a pay-as-you-go basis, resulting in substantial savings for future debt service and borrowing costs. 

Mamaroneck Town Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney convened the December 3 Board Meeting by commending the Mamaroneck High School (MHS)  football team for making it to the state semi-finals before being defeated by Saratoga Springs High School, 28-14. 

Supervisor Eney and Council member Sabrina Fiddelman noted recent events they attended, including the American Jewish Committee (AJC) Diversity Breakfast at Iona University, Long Island Sound Watershed Inter-municipal Council (LISWIC), Community Resource Center Gala (CRC) at Glen Island Harbour Club, and a ribbon cutting for the new Kutir Indian Restaurant.

The board held a Public Hearing for the Sewer Rent Rate. Local Law #7 adopted in 2014 established a sanitary sewer rent as an alternative to the ad valorem tax to fund the operation of the sanitary sewer system.  Section 174-3 of the legislation requires that the Town Board annually set the sewer rate per gallon based upon water consumption. 

How is the Sewer Rent Calculated?  The sewer rate is calculated by dividing the total revenue needed to operate the sewer system by the total water consumption for the unincorporated Town. 

There will not be a sewer rent increase in 2026.
