Did you know that it’s your right to file a formal legal grievance challenging the amount of your property tax assessment? In January, you will receive a “Notice of Tentative Assessment for 2013/2014” from the County Assessment Department indicating the tentative assessed value of your property.  If you believe that the tenative assessed value for your property is not accurate, you may file an appeal with the Assessment Review Commission (ARC) between January 2, 2012 and March 1, 2012.   The application for appeal can be obtained on-line at www.nassaucountyny.gov/arc, in person at the Department of Assessment’s office located at 240 Old Country Road in Mineola, or by calling (516) 571-1500.

• Don’t Waste Any Time •

The period to grieve your taxes begins on January 2, 2012 and ends on March 1, 2012

• You Can Do It Yourself •

You are not required to hire an attorney or outside service to file your grievance, but may do so if you choose

The Department of Assessment can be reached at 516-571-1500
