Nassau County Property Tax Reduction Services

Nassau County property taxes and taxable value are some of the highest in the nation. The rising cost of property in the county may be bad news for real estate buyers, but it is even worse for people and families trying to stay in their homes. New York taxable values are continually going up, and property taxes are following them. This is magnified many times over in Nassau, making any tax reduction worth its weight in gold. If you are feeling the pinch from rising inflation, increasing property valuations, or soaring taxes, there are still ways to fight back.

Don’t accept excessive values from your town or village assessor!

How to Achieve Nassau County Property Tax Reduction

Due to high costs and little room for expansion, getting a break on the taxes for your home or business in Nassau County is a must to maintain a healthy financial situation.

These contest the taxable and fair market value of your home, ensuring you only pay what you should.

For superior results, especially in Nasau, it is best to use the above techniques together, as they will maximize each other’s benefits, which is key when facing some of the highest taxes in the nation. With New York City going through possible drastic changes in the next few years, Nassau is going to become an even bigger magnet for property owners than it already is, which will only push your assessment higher in the coming years. Addressing all of these problems now is a great way to be prepared for the future, no matter what shape it takes.

How to Achieve Nassau County Property Tax Reduction

While exemptions and the STAR programs are relatively easy, just requiring the right paperwork, grieving your taxes is a whole different kettle of fish. Grieving your taxes, also known as appealing, can open new avenues in the quest for reductions. Filing a property tax grievance in Nassau County can be a difficult proposition, as it requires study, evidence, and time to put together the best case possible. However, if it is done correctly, a property tax grievance has the potential to bring in major savings that could not be achieved elsewhere. While it can vary wildly across New York, the grievance window in Nassau County is between January and March 1.

How Can O’Connor Lower my Taxes?

Property taxes in New York are complicated, Long Island more so, and Nassau most of all. With a high dollar value attached to every property and a premium on space, the county offers unique challenges for the state. Far from a cookie-cutter suburb, the county is filled with pre-war homes, vintage properties, and some newer construction that has been custom-made. This means that making comparisons through sales records or assessments can be tricky, as each home or business has a unique flair all its own. That is where our databases and local experts come in.

We at O’Connor have patented and proprietary databases that cover home sales across Nassau and Long Island. Our researchers can pull from this and use this curated evidence to prove the true value of your home. Frank Grampone leads our New York office, which handles residential properties for Nassau and Suffolk counties, in addition to commercial properties in New York City. With a local branch office, we have experts right there on Long Island. Each of the researchers and agents know the territory, the laws, and what evidence is required for a successful grievance. This gives us an edge that other national companies do not. We can put boots on the ground to find the best evidence possible.

Even better, you will not be handed an upfront bill or ambushed by a hidden fee. Instead, you will only pay us if we are able to get your taxes lower. There is no risk, as contesting your taxes cannot raise your taxes or lower the resale value of your home or business. You can potentially save thousands of dollars every year with no downside. We will represent you in every venue needed to get you the best deal on your grievance or appeal. Contact us today to get started on reviewing your assessment, checking your exemptions, or filing a grievance on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions for Nassau County Property Taxes

This is thanks to the No. 1 rule in real estate, location. Sandwiched between New York City and Suffolk County, Nassau is in the perfect position geographically. Unfortunately, this leads to an incredibly high demand for relatively little space, which causes the assessor to increase the value of your property. This is not counting tax rates, which rise on their own accord.

The county releases the tentative assessment roll at the start of January every year. This is a preview of your assessment, which isn’t finalized until after grievance season. You can view it to see the basic information on your property, what exemptions you have, and the estimated assessed and fair market value. If you spot any errors or feel you are being overvalued, you can file a grievance. The Nassau County Department of Assessment has a robust property search system that makes navigation quite easy, so finding your records should be quick.

March 1 is the last chance to file a grievance with the county. When the deadline falls on a holiday or a weekend, the deadline is the next business day.

We have a national reach and resources that local firms cannot beat, while also offering a New York office dedicated to supporting local clients.

Whether you prefer to meet in person, talk by phone, schedule a virtual meeting, or communicate by email, our team is available and ready to help. We also work on a contingency basis, which means you only pay if we successfully reduce your property taxes.
