January 2023 New Nassau Taxes

Another tax year starts in January and regardless of the assessment for most properties the overall general and school taxes are slated to increase because of the 2020 revaluation.

The tax bill you receive in January must be paid even if you believe it is too high. Unless you filed a grievance last year it is too late to complain about the taxes. The grievance period starting in January and is to complain about the 2024/2025 taxes. Yes, you have to complain about the assessment almost two years in advance even though the tax bills will not be ready until October 2024.

The safest plan is to check the new assessment in January and have an experienced reputable tax certiorari firm look at that assessment to determine if the assessment and taxes can be lowered.

Remember, the Assessor is not your friend!

The Nassau Grievance Period January 2, 2023

If you believe that your taxes are high it is too late to protest now.

Protests to assessments have to be filed more than a year in advance to give the Assessor the opportunity to correct the assessment.

In January, new assessments will be published and you can protest the 2024/2025 taxes.

Yes, it is only January 2023 and the new tax bill that you would be complaining does not come out until October 2024. So there is 22 months for hearings and conferences which allows the assessment department to work on the protests and hopefully reduce the assessments.

You should definitely have your assessment checked in January for Nassau County and the new assessments for Suffolk are published in May 2023.

Remember, the Assessor is not your friend.

Nassau Tax Assessments are Frozen - but are they correct?

The Nassau Assessor has again failed to correct assessments that are too high and instead uses the same assessments that were used for the 2020/21 tax year.

Due diligence and simple protections require the new 2023 assessments to be checked to see if they are correct; assessments are only part of the tax picture as the ratio of assessment to market value changes almost every year and the Covid pandemic has certainly changed values.

The tax rates have risen dramatically since the 2020 re-assessment and even if the assessment stays the same the taxes might be higher.

That is why it is important to have the assessment checked during this filing period now open until April 30, 2022 with an experienced tax certiorari attorney.

Stay alert for correspondence from the Assessor and stay safe.
