overcharged by a total of approximately $1.55 million because the fve-year phase-in of the 2020-2021 reassessment was not applied correctly to the impacted second-half school tax bills.
The church was incorrectly assessed $1.2M and the 842 property owners owed $1.55, which left Nassau County shelling out $2.75 million in taxes that were not due.
“It is deeply disappointing that a series of avoidable and preventable tax bill errors have already deprived Nassau County residents of nearly $3 million that could have been applied toward public services or tax relief,” Mulé said. “Despite the administration’s promises of no future mistakes, the Notre Dame Parish fasco illustrates why we have no confdence that additional major and costly errors are (not) looming.”
She added, “County Executive Blakeman must immediately order an independent investigation into how these errors occurred, how the Department of Assessment missed them, and the steps that should be taken to prevent the needless waste of even more taxpayer money.”
Cronin, an Amityville resident, was appointed acting assessor by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman in May of last year. Prior to his current role, Cronin was an assistant assessor with previous experience in the Department of Assessment.
He served as the county’s commercial and industrial assessor in 2020 before being promoted.
Cronin was appointed after Blakeman, a Republican did not renew the contract for acting Assessor Robin Laveman, who was appointed to fll the shoes of her predecessor, David Moog, by former County Executive Laura Curran, a Democrat.
