Tax Relief for Thousands of Nassau County Residents

Tax Relief is on the Way for Thousands of Nassau County Residents

On Wednesday, September 7, the Nassau County Legislature voted unanimously to increase the maximum income eligibility cap for individuals applying to receive the senior citizen and persons with limited incomes and disabilities tax exemptions to $58,400 from the current threshold of $34,400.

For qualifying residents with incomes up to $50,000 annually a 50% tax exemption can be expected. The percentage of exemption varies by income with incomes from $57,000 to $58,400 receiving a 5% tax exemption.

You could be saving hundreds of dollars off your property taxes! For Nassau County Property Tax Exemption Assistance attend an in-person workshop or forum. For further assistance, contact the Nassau County Department of Assessment 516-571-1500 ncasssor@nassaucountyny.gov

Enhanced STAR applications will also be processed for homeowners already enrolled in the STAR Program prior to January 2, 2015.
