In their May 7 meeting, the Scarborough Town Council passed the fiscal year 2026 municipal and school budget. The new budget – valued at just over $90 million – will result in an estimated 3.75% tax rate increase. “The budget sets a clear path forward to ensure the level of services our community expects remains unwavering,” said Tom Hall, Scarborough Town Manager. “Residents have told us they value public safety, well maintained infrastructure, and our schools.
