North Hempstead adopts tax freeze budget

The Town of North Hempstead voted to adopt the 2026 town budget at an Oct. 28 board meeting, keeping taxes flat. 

The $138 million total spending plan keeps the property tax levy flat for the third consecutive year and draws $11-$12 million from reserves (including $10.2 million for the general fund and roughly $1-2 million for Town Outside Village and special districts). The spending plan for the general operating fund is $92.7 million, while the combined town-wide total is $138 million.
