Property tax grievance in Mineola, NY
Mineola sits in the Town of North Hempstead, so Nassau County sets the assessment and the county's Assessment Review Commission hears the appeal. We file those appeals for owners of one- to three-family homes.
Most of its homes sit in the Mineola school district, and the rest fall into 2 others — which is why two similar Mineola homes can pay very different tax on the same assessment. The typical home here dates from 1948, and the county still values it off an appraisal it has not revisited in years. Mineola borders Williston Park, East Williston, Albertson and Carle Place, all on the same county roll.

Medians across the one- to three-family homes on Nassau County's tentative roll with a Mineola 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 four 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 25% of the first-year tax savings we win. If the county grants nothing, there is no fee.
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
Mineola homeowners ask.
Who assesses homes in Mineola?
Nassau County does. The Department of Assessment sets a value for every home in the Town of North Hempstead, 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 Mineola 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 Mineola tax bill so different from my neighbor's?
Most of the bill is the school district, and Mineola 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.
