East Fishkill Budget

The information presented has been posted online. The format posted lacks an Executive Summary which might better inform the community of the changes throughout the years. The Budget Summary presented by the Town includes increases and decreases in expenditures but lacks the tax base information used to calculate the rate changes.

I reviewed three years of expenditures and noted the 2024 Budget was not posted on the website after it was approved. However, the 2024 Tentative Budget which is posted agrees to the 2024 Budget included in the 2025 Budget.

The following data is meant to provide summary information as the Budget posted lacks an executive summary and a year over year analysis. As noted below the East Fishkill’s 2025 calendar year approved budget lists expenditures at $32.2 million. The Budget includes the following funds:

  • General Fund

  • Highway Fund

  • Sewer Districts*

  • Water Districts*

  • Other Special Districts*

  • Lighting, Park , Drainage and Sidewalk

*Posted here in summary only.

  • The summary above excludes Rate per 1,000, Rate per Benefit Unit and Increase/(Decrease), which is visible on the posted Approved Budget. Since the Tax Base is not provided to calculate the increase and decrease, I did not want to misrepresent the tax base although it may be calculated by using the numbers above.
