Manhasset and Port Washington Homeowners: Time to contact the Tax Man
If you live in Manhasset or Port Washington, now is the time to file for a Nassau county property tax assesment review…sometimes you hear people call this process “grieving their taxes”. Actually, you are appealing the assessment that is used as part of the formula to calculate your property taxes. The period to do this is January 2 – March 1st.
You can do it yourself – online via this link:

Or, you can hire a lawyer or company to do it for you. They will keep a portion of any reduction they may secure on your behalf – that may be easier for you. But, you can do it yourself online. The link above also takes you to a place where the county answers frequently asked questions. I think you will find this info usefu.
Every year, you have to file in order to be reviewed to lower your assessment. If you did it last year, and you want to be reviewed this year, you need to reapply. Many homeowners don’t realize it is not an automatic process.
If you are thinking of selling your Manhasset or Port Washington home, a wonderful bullet point to share with possible buyers is that you are in the process of being reviewed…just another way you can distinguish your home from the competition. Every buyer loves the idea of lower taxes!
