WHAT: Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) is partnering with the Nassau County Department of Assessment to bring the Homeowner Exemption Liaison Program (HELP) to the Syosset Public Library on Tuesday, Sept. 8, the Farmingdale Public Library on Monday, Nov. 9, and the Hicksville Public Library (in partnership with Legis. Viviana L. Russell) on Thursday, Nov. 12.
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 2025 federal and state income tax returns and other required documentation for completing the application.
Deputy Minority Leader Drucker’s office previously hosted a HELP workshop at the Old Bethpage Village Field House (“The Barn”) on June 17.
“Nassau County residents deserve every opportunity to lower their taxes and reduce their cost of living, and the HELP program is an outstanding opportunity to receive personalized assistance and file your applications in one convenient visit,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “Whether you are filing for the first time or renewing, I strongly encourage you to attend a workshop, where you will get the peace of mind from knowing that you are receiving every tax exemption that your family has earned.”
For more information or to receive a list of necessary documentation, call the Nassau County Department of Assessment at 516-571-1500.
