Hudson Valley

Lake Mohegan, New York

Lake Mohegan is a hamlet — a community without a village government of its own — in Westchester County, part of New York's Hudson Valley region, with about 5,900 residents at the 2020 census.

Whether you're moving in or you've been here for years, the checks that matter most are the school district, the assessment and STAR, and — outside the cities — the well, the septic, and the flood map.

Property tax snapshot

About $13–$29 per $1,000 in Westchester County

Combined full-value rate — county + town/city + school district, per $1,000 of market value (FY2025). On a $300,000 home that's about $3,933–$8,699 a year before the STAR break. A hamlet has no government of its own — it's taxed at the rates of the town it sits in.

A planning estimate, not a bill. Your exact rate depends on your school district and any village. Confirm with the assessor.
