- Mangano Announces Millions In Savings From Residential Tax Grievance Negotiation & Settlement Program
As part of his efforts to completely reform the broken, costly property tax assessment system in Nassau, County Executive Edward P. Mangano today announced that taxpayers will save up to $28 million as a result of his Residential Tax Grievance Negotiation and Settlement Program which reduces taxpayer liability from $30 million annually to under $2 million. For over a decade, Nassau County has failed to settle tax grievances prior to demanding payment. With more than 100,000 tax grievances annually, Nassau’s assessment system has generated an estimated $100 million in property tax refunds annually - $30 million related to residential property tax refunds and $70 million related to commercial property tax refunds. The past failure to settle these grievances has contributed toward the County borrowing over $1.3 billion to pay for tax refunds, costing taxpayers another $150 million annually in debt service payments, for a total of $250 million a year.
