The Nassau County Legislature has extended the deadline for Nassau County property owners to file an assessment grievance. If you’re a property owner and disagree with your property’s Tentative Assessed Valued issued by Nassau in January 2022, you now have until May 2, 2022 to file an “Application for Correction of Assessment” with the Assessment Review Commission (ARC). Property owners who believe their property value is too high compared to similar homes in their neighborhood have a right to challenge their assessment, which is the basis of 2023/2024 school taxes and 2024 general taxes. 

 

The Assessment Review Commission (ARC) is an independent agency, separate from the Nassau County Department of Assessment, which is responsible for annually reviewing all applications for correction of assessment filed in Nassau County. These corrections have resulted in substantial savings for the taxpayer.

 

Homeowners who wish to challenge their assessments on their own can visit the Nassau County website or attend a free, in-person Tax Forum and learn how to file a grievance. See the Town of Hempstead website for a complete listing of Tax Forums which will be held throughout March and April at libraries and parks throughout the Town of Hempstead. Reservations are required and seating is limited and provided on a first-come, first-served basis. To make a reservation, please email taxforums@tohmail.org or call (516) 414-6598. For grievance filing details, visit https://www.nassaucountyny.gov/arc or call the ARC at (516) 571-3214.
