With Village Council members unanimously passing a 7.39 percent tax hike on Wednesday, residents now have a complete look at their local taxes for this year: an average increase of $416, rounding out the total 2011 tax bill to an average of $15,510 per household.
The Village Council approved the restoration of $35,000 in funding for the Ridgewood Public Library. The library will still, however, have to close for nine Sundays and two Fridays this summer.
The numbers are based on an average home value of $797,422, which has dipped by about $2,100 since last year.
