WOODCLIFF LAKE — The proposed 2026–2027 Pascack Valley Regional High School District budget would reduce the average Woodcliff Lake tax bill by approximately $508, according to figures presented to the board of education.
The district’s preliminary $72.75 million budget, approved March 16 and scheduled for a final hearing and vote April 27, allocates 22.74% of the local tax levy to Woodcliff Lake, or about $14.2 million.
District officials said the overall budget reflects a 5.1% increase year over year, driven in part by rising health care costs, though reductions and adjustments were made to limit the impact on taxpayers.
Tax impacts vary across the four sending towns based on the state funding formula. While Woodcliff Lake’s share would decrease for the average homeowner, other municipalities would see increases.
An earlier version of this report, “Regional BOE OKs $72M prelim budget; taxes up more than 5% in sending towns,” by Michael Olohan, misstated the tax impact for Woodcliff Lake. Under the proposed budget, the average Woodcliff Lake tax bill would decrease, not increase. The error also appeared in our April 6 print edition; a correction will run in our April 13 print edition. We regret the error.
