Nassau County Extends Deadline for Property Tax Exemption Filing

Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano announced Thursday that he will be extending the property tax exemptions filing deadline to Tuesday, Jan. 3, to accommodate homeowners affected by the suspension of mail delivery on Jan. 2.

While the Department of Assessment will be open on Jan. 2 to accept and help homeowners file their exemption applications, all post offices will be closed in observance of the New Year’s Day.

“With the filing deadline fast approaching, I urge homeowners who have yet to file for their property tax exemption to take advantage of this one-day extension and submit their application as soon as possible,” Mangano said. “There is no filing fee to process any exemption application and Department of Assessment personnel will be available to answer any questions regarding the filing process and forms."

The Department of Assessment is located on the fourth floor at 240 Old Country Rd. in Mineola. The department’s normal operating hours are from 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Monday through Friday.

To learn more about Nassau County's property tax relief programs or to obtain an exemption application, homeowners should contact the Department of Assessment at (516) 571-1500 or download forms and information from its website at www.mynassauproperty.com.
