To address the ongoing budget deficit, the Town Council will consider raising property taxes by 41.21%

The past two years have been fraught with cuts to services and amenities throughout the Town of Kearny. This was an inevitable outcome after the the massive shock to the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The era of overly extended federal support has come and gone. With a shrinking contingency and rising prices of both materials and labor alike, the Town must find a way to begin funding it’s own assets.

To that end, the Town Council is considering a primary property tax increase of 41.21% to all properties located within Town limits. This consideration is not taken lightly. Without any changes to the rate (currently set to be 2.2068%) a $100,000 home will owe $220.07 per year to the Town. The rate under consideration of 3.1163% will increase this amount to $311.63 per $100,000 in value.

Property Taxes are an important mechanism to help place the Town’s finances in a position to rebound and begin replacing much-needed amenities. Without this proposed rate change, the Town faces even steeper cuts to an already thin budget to avoid losing our contingency funds.

A public hearing will be held on July 28th at Kearny Town Hall before approval of the Final Budget.

• Potential Water Restrictions 2026

On February 11, 2025, local Town residents John Bailey, Sr., and John Bailey, Jr., demonstrated bravery and heroism when they took action during a fire in a potentially life-threatening situation. The residents observed a fire at the 200 block of Mountain View and Upton in Kearny and courageously, selflessly and without hesitation used water hoses from adjacent homes to slow the spread of a fire.

Their actions protected the homes and property of citizens of Kearny and provided crucial time for Town Of Kearny Emergency Personnel to arrive and fight the fire and keep the fire from spreading to adjacent homes. On February 18th, 2025, Kearny Town Council presented John Bailey, Sr., and John Bailey, Jr., with a gift of appreciation for their efforts.
