Leg Toback Aids Residents By Hosting Meetings On Ways To Challenge Their Assessment

Nassau County Legislator Jeff Toback (D-Oceanside) will host a meeting with the Nassau County Department of Assessment to help residents learn how to challenge their assessment on January 15, 16, and 17.

“If you pay taxes on property in Nassau County, you have the right to appeal your property’s annual assessment,” Legislator Toback said. “The Assessment Review Commission will review your application. Residents can apply for a new assessment each year. But the time to appeal a new assessment ends before the taxes based on that assessment are billed.”

Legislator Toback urges residents to appeal their most recent assessment if they disagree with it, even if they are awaiting determination of an appeal filed last year. The filing deadline is March 2, 2009.

The following meetings have been scheduled:
Thursday, January 15 @ 7:00p.m.
Forest Road Elementary School
16 Forest Rd., Valley Stream, N.Y.

Friday, January 16 @ 10:00 a.m.
Island Park Public Library
176 Long Beach Rd., Island Park, N.Y.

Saturday, January 17 @ 10:00 a.m.
East Rockaway Public Library
477 Atlantic Ave., East Rockaway, N.Y.
