Village Of New Paltz

What Village Of New Paltz does

The Village of New Paltz is an incorporated municipal government entity in Ulster County, New York, established in 1887 and operating under New York State law. It administers local government services for its residents and businesses, including property tax collection, water and sewer utilities, building permitting and inspections, zoning and planning, public parking management, code enforcement, and public safety coordination. The Village is governed by an elected Board of Trustees (with Mayor Alexandria Wojcik as the current executive per source) and maintains operational boards and commissions covering planning, zoning, historic preservation, affordable housing, environmental policy, and shade tree management.

The Village generates revenue primarily through property taxes, user fees and permits (building, event, filming, rental property registration, parking violations), utility billing for water and sewer, and grant funding from state and federal sources. Recent funding has been concentrated on sanitary sewer rehabilitation, with two Community Development Block Grants totaling approximately $3.19 million secured in 2025 from the NYS Office of Community Renewal. The Village operates through a single Village Hall at 25 Plattekill Avenue, supported by an online payment portal (parking violations, property taxes, water/sewer bills), a YouTube channel for live-streamed public meetings, and email-based public notice channels. Public-facing services also include an EV charging station, a Community Choice Aggregation electricity supply program, and a Climate Smart Task Force.

Strategically, the Village is in the middle of a high-significance structural process: a consolidation with the Town of New Paltz under NYS General Municipal Law Article 17-A, with a proposed effective date of January 1, 2028 and a voter referendum planned for November 2026. The Village currently has a mayoral vacancy following Tim Rogers's January 1, 2026 transition to the Town Supervisor role. Recent regulatory actions include compliance with a NYSDEC Order on Consent regarding infiltration and inflow in the sanitary sewer system, prompting the cited capital grant-funded infrastructure projects.
