Nuñez, Assessment Reviewers Team up For Assessment Grievance Workshops

VALLEY STREAM, NY. — Nassau County homeowners with questions about their home’s assessment are getting the chance to learn about their options, as first-term Nassau County Legislator Cynthia Nuñez teams up with the Nassau County Assessment Review Commission (ARC) to host a pair of online workshops that will teach property owners how to challenge the assessed value of their property.

The workshops will take place over Microsoft Teams on consecutive Wednesdays, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Feb. 11 and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Feb. 18. They'll feature tips and tricks for navigating the county's online grievance process and disputing assessments, and a live question-and-answer in a video chat with the ARC. Organizers said any questions not answered live on the call will be answered by direct contact after the events.

“Nassau County’s cost of living is among the highest in the nation, and I am committed to ensuring that my constituents are paying only their fair share to the County – and not a cent more,” Nuñez said. “At a time when experts have determined that Nassau’s tax rolls are the least accurate they have been in 25 years, it is essential to exercise your rights, and these workshops will give you the tools to protect yourself and your family from inequitable over taxation – all without paying an outside service to do it for you.”

Interested attendees can join the workshops through the County Legislature's website.
