How Property Taxes Work in Nassau County

In Nassau County, property is assessed by the Nassau County Department of Assessment, which runs a centralized assessment system. Many municipalities assess at a fraction of market value rather than 100%, so New York State publishes an equalization rate for each town or city to make values comparable.

Your bill combines county, town or city, school district, and special district taxes. School taxes make up the largest share of most bills. Local tax levy growth is generally capped at 2% or inflation, whichever is lower, though voters and local boards can override it.

What is the Median Effective Property Tax Rate?

Our median effective property tax rate (tax bill ÷ assessor's market value) accounts for exemptions and deductions, making it more accurate than the general median tax rate, which is the midpoint of statutory rates before adjustments. Because New York municipalities assess at different fractions of market value, the effective rate is the only fair way to compare bills across Nassau County and the state.

How to Grieve Your Property Taxes in Nassau County

In New York, an assessment appeal is called a grievance. You can grieve if your assessment exceeds your home's market value, exceeds similar homes nearby, or if you were denied an exemption.

Review your assessment notice
Most towns publish a tentative assessment roll on January 2 (May 1 across most of New York; January in Nassau County and New York City). Review your home's taxable value and property details.
File a grievance
File Form RP-524 with your Assessment Review Commission (ARC) by March 1. In most of New York, Grievance Day is the fourth Tuesday in May (the third Tuesday in June in Suffolk and Westchester; March 1 in Nassau County; March 15 for Class 1 homes in NYC).
Review and decision
The board reviews evidence from you and your Nassau County Department of Assessment, such as comparable sales or an appraisal, and issues a determination.
Small Claims Assessment Review (SCAR)
Owners of one- to three-family homes who disagree with the decision can file for SCAR, a low-cost hearing before an independent hearing officer, usually within 30 days of the final assessment roll.
Further appeal
Owners of commercial properties or homeowners seeking further review can file an Article 7 petition in state Supreme Court.

New York Property Tax Exemptions

The School Tax Relief (STAR) program is the most common form of property tax relief in New York. New homeowners receive STAR as a state credit check or direct deposit rather than an exemption on their bill, while Enhanced STAR provides a larger benefit for income-eligible seniors.

New York also offers local options for seniors with limited incomes, veterans, and people with disabilities. File exemptions with your Nassau County Department of Assessment, usually by the taxable status date (January 2, which is March 1 in most towns; January 2 in Nassau County; January 5 in NYC), per NYS Department of Taxation and Finance guidelines.

Roosevelt has the highest median effective property tax rate in the county at 1.04%, while Plandome has the lowest effective rate at 0.18%.

Small Claims Assessment Review (SCAR) is an affordable appeal process for owners of one- to three-family homes who disagree with their Board of Assessment Review grievance determination. An independent hearing officer reviews the case.

Is it worth grieving property taxes in Nassau County?

Yes. If your assessment exceeds your home's true market value or is higher than comparable properties in your town, grieving your assessment can meaningfully lower your property tax bill.
