WHAT: Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D – Glen Cove) is partnering with the Nassau County Department of Assessment to bring the Homeowner Exemption Liaison Program (HELP) to Sea Cliff Village Hall on Wednesday, Sept. 24 and the Port Washington Library on Wednesday, Oct. 22.
During HELP events, Department of Assessment staff provide homeowners with individual assistance with completing and filing applications 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.
“The high cost of living is a major challenge for families in communities across Nassau County – and the HELP program is a great and convenient way to lower your property taxes by making sure that you get every exemption that you deserve and have earned,” Minority Leader DeRiggi-Whitton said. “Whether you are filing for the first time or renewing your exemptions, I encourage you to join us at a HELP event to receive expert assistance with completing and filing your applications in a convenient and conformable setting.”
For more information or to receive a list of necessary documentation, call the Nassau County Department of Assessment at 516-571-1500.
