Senator Jack M. Martins (R-7th Senate District) is reminding residents that they have the right to file an appeal if they believe their property has been over-assessed by the Nassau County Department of Assessment.
Individuals who wish to challenge their assessment must file an application with the County’s Assessment Review Commission (ARC) before March 1, 2016. ARC is an independent agency, separate from the Nassau County Department of Assessment, which reviews taxpayer requests for assessment corrections. ARC’s mission is to review the valuation set by the Department of Assessment and reduce the assessment if the valuation is excessive. ARC cannot increase assessments.
Nassau County does not charge a fee for filing a grievance. Individuals are allowed to represent themselves or hire an attorney to represent them if they so choose.
Residents can appeal their assessments by filing an application with ARC either over the Internet or through the mail. Applications and additional information can be obtained by visiting ARC’s website at www.nassaucountyny.gov/agencies/ARC/index.html or calling ARC at 516-571-3214. The deadline to file a grievance is March 1, 2016.
