UTICA, N.Y. — The Oneida County Board of Legislators has adopted the 2025 budget and capital plan, marking the 12th year in which the county budget carried no increase in the property tax levy, Oneida County Executive Anthony J. Picente, Jr. announced.
The nearly $547.1 million budget appropriates almost $151.1 million in sales-tax revenue, $23 million in Oneida Indian Nation revenue, and retires $19 million in debt. The capital budget will bond for $21.6 million.
“I thank the Board of Legislators for adopting my budget proposal with minimal adjustments and for keeping the people of Oneida County on a path of continued success,” Picente said in a news release. “I’m proud of this budget and of the hard work we put in together to get it done. We faced many challenges this past year, including an unprecedented tornado, and we had to make some hard choices in order to keep our country on solid financial ground. This budget is a testament to those efforts and puts us in prime position for our future.”
