Property tax grievance in Glen Head, NY

Medians across the one- to three-family homes on Nassau County's tentative roll with a Glen Head address, using the county's own assessed values, its own market values and the published tax rates. Your home is not the median, and nothing here is an estimate of what any particular property is worth or would save.

How it works here
The same three steps everywhere in Nassau.
We file before the deadline.
You sign an authorization, we file with the Assessment Review Commission, and we follow the case until the county rules on it.
You pay only out of savings.
Our fee is 35% of the first-year tax savings we win. If the county grants nothing, there is no fee, and we never bill for a reduction the law gives you automatically.
We check again next year.
Nassau can put an old value back on the next roll, so a win does not stay won. Each January we compare the new roll against your last result.
Questions
Glen Head homeowners ask.
Who assesses homes in Glen Head?
Nassau County does. The Department of Assessment sets a value for every home in the Town of Oyster Bay, and the county's Assessment Review Commission hears appeals against it. The village does not set your assessment, and neither does your school district.
When can I grieve a Glen Head assessment?
The county publishes its tentative roll in early January and the filing window closes in early March. The exact deadline is set each cycle by the Assessment Review Commission, and it has been extended in some years.
Why is my Glen Head tax bill so different from my neighbour's?
Most of the bill is the school district, and Glen Head homes are not all in the same one. The combined rate on a dollar of assessed value differs by district, so two similar homes a few streets apart can pay materially different tax on the same assessment.
