Town of Rye

 

                      Welcome from the Town Supervisor,

                                           Joseph Carvin

Welcome to our official Town of Rye Web Site. Just click any of the icons to the left for information on Town services or other pertinent information that might be of interest to you.

 

On our Web Site, you will learn some history on our Town, names and telephone numbers of all the Town officials, Departments, Town Court, Crawford Park and Rye Town Park, meeting times, dates, and agenda’s, and learn how to fill out special forms for the S.T.A.R. programs, Senior  and Veterans Exemption etc.

 

Our Town is comprised of two incorporated villages, Port Chester and Rye Brook. Also, the Rye Neck section in Mamaroneck falls within the Town of Rye boundaries. All three entities are unique in the fact that the relationships amongst residents and businesses transcend geographical boundaries.

 

The Town of Rye is the umbrella government to the villages and Rye Neck, and thus provides services to all. The Town of Rye assesses over 10,922 properties and also collects, disburses and guarantees over $99 million in taxes to the villages, Westchester County, and most important, to our schools.

 

The Town of Rye operates a Court System for the Village of Rye Brook, dealing in both criminal and civil cases, and provides civil and small claims court for the village of Port Chester.

 

The Town of Rye is the home of the Frances C. Nugent Archives Center. I would encourage you to visit the center and view documents that date back to the 1660’s.

 

The Town of Rye provides access to Crawford Park, a 35 acre estate which was left to the Town of Rye from the late Everett and Edna Crawford in 1974. Through the generosity of the Crawford’s, Rye Town can provide this beautiful park with baseball fields, a soccer field, a playground and pavilion area. The estate is located in Rye Brook. The park is a nature preserve and wild life sanctuary with beautiful landscaped vistas and gardens. The park  has a mansion constructed in 1910 which meets the National Register criteria as a distinctive twentieth century house. Located on the grounds, the mansion can be rented by Rye Town residents and businesses for a variety of uses from weddings to birthday parties or corporate functions and is free for non-profit organizations located in the Town of Rye.

 

The Town of Rye operates Rye Town Park, located in the City of Rye. This is a magnificent edifice with Spanish style architecture, fantastic views, and beach access to Long Island Sound. Rye Town Park is a 62 acre parcel with over 1,200 feet of sandy beach. A new restaurant, Seaside Johnnie’s was opened in  2000. The restaurant is operated by John Ambrose, the owner of the Crab Shanty in Mamaroneck. John has invested a significant amount of money and created a true sea food restaurant appropriate for the beach front. I would urge you to visit our new restaurant and partake in some great food and spirits while enjoying the wonderful view of Long Island Sound.
