HERKIMER, N.Y. - The Herkimer County Legislature unanimously passed their 2020 budget.
The $103,284,573 budget carries a $25,772, 406 property tax levy, making it a 3.5% decrease from the previous year and the overall property tax rate is down 6.13%.
The drop in taxes is partly because of the new Herkimer County Jail being built on Route 28.
