FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
GENERAL TOWN-WIDE FUND
The General Town-wide Fund budget will decrease from $8,084,481 in 2023 to $7,528,264 in 2024,
a decrease of $556,217 or 6.88%. (This decrease is largely due to the NYS requirement to include
$1,647,072 in ARPA revenue in General Fund with an interfund transfer to Water and Sewer in 2023.)
The General Town-wide Fund accounts for 25% of the total 2024 Ithaca Town Budget.
Personnel Services (employee salaries and wages) increases to $2,399,491 in 2024 from $2,321,850
in 2023, an increase of $77,641 or 3.34%.
The budgeted total for Employee Benefits increases from $1,046,000 in 2023 to a budgeted total of
$1,103,900 in 2024, an increase of $57,900 or 5.5%.
- Payments for employee retirement are budgeted for $301,000 in 2024, an increase of $69,000
or 29.7% from the amount of $232,000 budgeted in 2023. This increase is due to an employer
contribution rate increase by the New York State Comptroller.
- Payments for employee health insurance are budgeted for $578,000 in 2024, a decrease of
$8,000 or 1.4% from the $586,000 total budgeted in 2023.

TOWN OF ITHACA
FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
HIGHWAY TOWN-WIDE FUND
For towns with villages, Highway Law Sec. 277 requires that expenditure for repairs & improvements be
financed by the area outside the village. Expenditures for machinery, snow removal and miscellaneous
may be financed on a town-wide basis, unless the town board elects to finance these activities by only the
area outside the village. The NYS-OSC Accounting and Reporting Manual states that “a town with a village
must maintain two highway funds, town-wide and part-town”.
The 2024 Highway Town-wide Fund budget of $1,167,423 includes $558,202 for Snow Removal, $60,146

FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
FIRE PROTECTION FUND
The budget for the Fire Protection Fund will increase from $3,704,183 in 2023 to $4,014,670 in 2024,
an increase of $310,487 or 8.4%.
The Fire Protection Fund accounts for 13.5% of the total 2024 Ithaca Town Budget.
Contractual Services represent 100% of the Fire Protection Fund’s budget and include the contracts
with the City of Ithaca and the Village of Cayuga Heights that provide the fire protection services for
the Town.
- City of Ithaca - Fire protection services are budgeted to increase to $3,805,808 in 2024 from
$3,635,800 in 2023.
- Village of Cayuga Heights - Fire protection services are budgeted to increase from $33,198
budgeted in 2023 to $175,677 in 2024. (As a reminder, the 2023 contract was reduced due to a
portion of the proceeds of the sale of a ladder truck credited to our invoice.)
- New York State 2% Fire Insurance Tax - Budgeted for $28,000 in 2024. As the Town does not
have its own fire department, fire insurance tax received from the state is redirected to the City
of Ithaca and Village of Cayuga Heights on a 50/50 basis. Actual amount received in 2023 was
$28,052.
The 2024 Property Tax Levy for the Fire Protection Fund is budgeted at $3,436,600, an increase of
$118,600 or 3.6% from the $3,318,000 levied the prior year. The estimated Property Tax Rate for
the 2024 Tax Year is $2.219 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. This is a decrease of 4.8% from the
2023 Property Tax Rate of $2.332 per $1,000 of assessed valuation.
The taxable assessed valuation of the Fire Protection District(s) increased from $1,422,710,362 in
2023 to $1,548,811,848 in 2024, an increase of approximately $126,101,486 or 8.9%.
The $3,436,600 property tax levy of the Fire Protection Fund accounts for 39.4% of the $8,712,984
total Town of Ithaca property tax levy in 2024. Of the $1,768.78 in property tax paid by the typical
property in 2024, $665.66 or 37.6% is for fire protection.
Sales Tax in the amount of $400,000 has been allocated to the Fire Protection Fund for the first time
in 2024.
