A Message from the Superintendent to the Community Regarding Tax Rates
Dr. Lorna R. Lewis
The 2013-14 school budget that was overwhelmingly supported by the residents in the Plainview-Old Bethpage community carried with it a proposed tax levy increase of 2.89%. You have just received your tax bill and are probably wondering why the increase you voted on is different from the one in your tax bill. Simply put, tax rates are established by the practices of the Nassau County Assessor and that office is solely responsible for the difference between the tax levy increase proposed by the district and your tax rate.
- Column A is the responsibility of school districts. The figures reflect the outcome of the budget vote in May.
- Columns B through D are the sole responsibility of the Nassau County Assessor’s Office.
- Column D demonstrates the impact of the assessor's decisions on the tax burden for homeowners.
How we get from Column A to Column E is completely, unequivocally the responsibility of the county.
"Sticker Shock" (Column F) is the difference between the tax levy increase requested by the school district (A) and the tax rate change calculated by the county (E).
This sticker shock, the result of an unexpected increase in tax rates compared to tax levies, is the responsibility of the Nassau County Assessor. If any homeowner has a school tax bill increase greater than the increase in the tax levy proposed by their district, they need to call the Assessor's office to find out how that happened.
