EXEMPTIONS
Property tax exemptions lower the taxes for certain properties. To determine the taxes without the exemption, multiply the full tax rate times the full-assessed value.
· STAR Exemptions: Apply only to School Tax
· Senior Citizen Exemptions: Apply to School and General Taxes *
· Disability Exemptions: Apply to School and General Taxes *
· Veterans' Exemptions: Apply only to some levies on the General Tax Bill
· Firefighters and Ambulance Personnel : Apply only to some levies on the School and General Tax Bills.
* except for Special District Levies
RESTORED TAXES
When a property with an exemption is sold to a new owner not entitled to an exemption, the Nassau County Board of Assessors will remove this exemption and add on "restored" taxes (prorated back to closing date) on a future tax roll. It can take up to two years for exemptions to be removed from tax bills.
BASE TAX AMOUNTS
The base tax for a levy is the tax rate per $100 multiplied by the assessed valuation (see Nassau County Assessor's Property Search Website for base value). Other items such as unpaid water bills and restored taxes may appear on a tax bill; however, these items are not part of the base tax.
VILLAGE TAXES
Each individual village, if applicable, collects village taxes. Some Incorporated Villages use different assessed values than the County Tax Roll.
SCHOOL DISTRICT RESIDENCY
The School District Code indicates which school district receives the taxes paid for a property. New York State Education Law determines school district residency. Disputes about residency must be resolved with the School Districts or the State Commissioner of Education. The Town of North Hempstead has no jurisdiction in these matters.
Home ImprovementS - PROPERTY ReAssessment
The Nassau County Department of Assessment handles all matters pertaining to the assessment of property. If home improvements are made to a property, the Department of Assessment may raise the assessment. This applies to improvements made prior to the sale of a property, but not previously reported. Property is not reassessed in Nassau County simply because it is sold. Detailed information about properties is available for a small fee.
CHANGES
Please note that new homeowners must notify the Town's Receiver of Taxes and their Village (if applicable) of any ownership and billing address/mortgage information.
