KIDZ ZONE MEMO
MAIDENBAUM CAN PROVIDE THE HELP YOU NEED.
E
ver feel like your neighbors are paying lower property taxes than you? Why should they have lower taxes if your properties are similar? If you’re a Nassau County homeowner, and these questions have crossed your mind, you are not alone. Nassau County property taxes are among the highest in the country, and the tax assessment system can be difficult to comprehend. With a countywide reassessment now complete, and uncertainty amongst concerned homeowners, property taxes could climb again. Thankfully, you don’t have to accept your school, general and village taxes the way they are. Maidenbaum Property Tax Reduction Group, LLC, is Nassau County’s leader in property tax reduction–with 30 years of experience, success and reliability. Maidenbaum has saved millions of dollars in taxes for homeowners. Nowadays quality customer service seems like a relic of the past, but
Maidenbaum’s experienced team takes pride in helping and educating its clients. Maidenbaum’s team is knowledgeable, dedicated and more than willing to explain the ins and outs of the Nassau County tax grievance process. Furthermore, Maidenbaum has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and one of the best reputations in the industry. Clients appreciate the fact that Maidenbaum avoids automated phone systems. When you call Maidenbaum for help, you get a live person. That type of personal service is hard to come by these days. Maidenbaum also challenges village and city tax assessments, if there is a good case, while many competitors are limited to school and general taxes. Don’t forget to challenge your reassessment before March 2, 2020. Contact Maidenbaum at 516-479-9176 or apply online at mptrg.com/herald.
