  • FISCAL PROFILE OFFICE OF THE NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER

    Syracuse, NY
    Other

    This 2013 fiscal profile of Syracuse by the New York State Comptroller's Office documents significant fiscal challenges facing the city, including nearly 50% tax-exempt property (compared to 32% statewide), 8% tax-delinquent properties, and 25.6% of families living in poverty—more than double the state average. As the fifth-largest city in New York with a population of 145,170, Syracuse has a debt of $292 million representing 52.9% of its constitutional debt limit (far exceeding the median city's 23%), and faces chronic budget gaps driven by declining population, deteriorating industrial sector, and growing fixed costs for both the city and its dependent school district. The city has established a Land Bank with Onondaga County to address abandoned properties and has exhausted 68.6% of its constitutional tax limit.

    Mahanoy City, PA

    Mahanoy City Borough, Pennsylvania, has experienced significant population decline from 15,936 residents in 1910 to 3,912 in 2021 due to the collapse of the coal mining industry, resulting in numerous abandoned properties throughout the municipality. To address blight, the Borough established a Blight/Demolition Fund in 2014 funded by real estate taxes (approximately 1.5 mils) and $50,000 annually in earned income tax revenue, supplemented by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocations totaling $96,056 in 2021, of which $45,146 was allocated to demolition projects. The Borough faces potential loss of CDBG funding in 2022 due to Act 179 population requirements and has secured additional grant funding, including approval for $133,000 to demolish three properties.

  • Property Taxes Dear Ms. Rosenson:

    Stamford, CT
    Other

    This document consists of two letters from Stamford residents to city officials opposing proposed property tax increases, dated April 15, 2020. Andy Dimitri reports that his property taxes have increased 25% since moving to Stamford in late 2013 and urges the city to reduce expenses rather than raise revenues, warning that continued increases will accelerate population loss from Connecticut. A second correspondent similarly calls for reducing the mill rate, arguing that residents are already financially stressed due to business closures and job losses during the economic crisis, and requesting that the city reduce expenditures to match the fiscal constraints residents are facing.
