WHAT: Nassau County Legislature Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Debra Mulé (D – Freeport) is partnering with the Nassau County Department of Assessment to bring the Homeowner Exemption Liaison Program (HELP) to the Freeport Memorial Library on Tuesday, July 22; the Baldwin Library on Tuesday, Aug. 19, and the Oceanside Library on Thursday, Aug. 28.
During HELP events, Department of Assessment staff provide homeowners with individual assistance with filing for veteran, senior citizen, Cold War veteran, volunteer firefighter and ambulance worker, and limited-income disability exemptions. Enhanced STAR applications will also be processed for homeowners already enrolled in the STAR program prior to Jan. 2, 2015.
All HELP sessions are from noon to 2 p.m. Participants are asked to arrive no later than one half-hour prior to the scheduled end time for the event, and to bring copies of their 2024 federal and state income tax returns and other required documentation for completing the application.
“Not only does the HELP program give homeowners the tools they need to complete their exemption applications, it also allows you to submit your completed forms right after you finish them - right in your backyard,” Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Mulé said. “If you have questions about how to complete your applications join us at one of our three workshops to receive hands-on assistance that will ensure you get every exemption that you qualify for.”
For more information or to receive a list of necessary documentation, call the Nassau County Department of Assessment at 516-571-1500.
