For the third consecutive year, the Town of Tyre property owners will not have to pay a general town tax or highway tax. This is a result of $2.4-million in NYS Gaming Tax Revenue the town anticipates receiving from the New York State Gaming Commission as the host town for del Lago Resort & Casino.
The budget for 2025 in Tyre also now includes a no tax levy for the fire protection district fund.
Similar to past budgets, the 2025 budget maintains a $325,000 allocation for a 2026 county tax levy reduction. This is $25,000 more than what was held in 2023, and 2024.
Tyre Town Supervisor Elizabeth Partee says the town even had enough money to squirrel away for a future highway facility and a rainy day fund.
