Homeowners get 60additional days to file

MINEOLA, NY (TIP): “With many of our residents still struggling from the devastating financial repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, at my request, the Assessment Review Commission (ARC) Chairperson Robin Laveman has extended the grievance filing period with a 60-day grace period ending on April 30”, Nassau County Executive Laura curran said. In a newsletter to Nassau homeowners, Curran said, “This will provide additional breathing room for those who want to fight their property assessment.  I will continue to protect the rights of homeowners and do everything I can to ease tax burdens whenever and wherever possible.

Tentative assessed property values for the 2022-2023 assessment roll for every Nassau County property have been finalized and are being mailed out this month.  In addition, notices of tentative assessment are posted online at www.mynassauproperty.com.

If you believe your assessed value for the 2022-2023 assessment roll is inaccurate, you can file an “Application for Correction of Assessment” with ARC before the close of the grievance filing period, which is extended from March 1 to April 30, 2021.  I encourage homeowners to consider the possible benefits of the grievance procedure.  For more information on how to file, visit www.nassaucountyny.gov/ARC.

Please note, due to the current instability of Nassau County’s real estate market, and the continued economic hardships homeowners and businesses face, I have paused property valuation updates for the 2022-2023 assessment roll.  Therefore, unless you have since received an assessment reduction, your notice of tentative assessment should reflect the same property assessment as the previous assessment roll.The pandemic has caused Nassau’s home values to spike – with many New York City families residents desiring a safe, suburban, quality community to raise their families – underscoring the value of Nassau County.   While this is good news for our current homeowners, the dramatic increase in sales prices would unfairly skew property assessment.

By temporarily pausing property assessment updates, we can allow families and businesses to focus on the task of rebuilding their finances at a time of enormous economic uncertainty”.
