Property tax in Erie County is expected to go down as part of the 2025 proposed budget.

The proposed property tax in 2025 would be $3.28 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. That's an $0.11 difference from 2024.

Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz says this 2025 property tax rate would be the lowest in Erie County’s history and $1.77 lower than Niagara County's.

“I believe government works best when we’re able to put aside politics and come together on behalf of the people we serve. That is why I am particularly proud to have worked with the Division of Budget and Management, to craft a budget that will once again reduce property taxes while maintaining investments in programs and services that are important to county residents,” said Poloncarz. “I look forward to unveiling the full Proposed 2025 Budget later this month.”

Erie County's 2025 property tax rate would be the 11th-lowest rate in New York, out of 57 non-New York City counties.
