Koslow Invites Property Owners to Register for Tax Exemptions at Homeowner Exemption Liaison Program

WHAT: Nassau County Legislator Seth I. Koslow (D – Merrick) is partnering with the Nassau County Department of Assessment to bring the Homeowner Exemption Liaison Program (HELP) to the Freeport Memorial Library on Tuesday, July 22; the Merrick Library on Wednesday, Aug. 6; and the North Bellmore Public Library on Thursday, Aug. 14.

During HELP events, Department of Assessment staff provide homeowners – whether they are applying for the first time or renewing their applications - with individual assistance with filing for veteran, senior citizen, Cold War veteran, volunteer firefighter and ambulance worker, and limited-income disability exemptions. Enhanced STAR applications will also be processed for homeowners already enrolled in the STAR program prior to Jan. 2, 2015. 

All HELP sessions are from noon to 2 p.m. Participants are asked to arrive no later than one half-hour prior to the scheduled end time for the event, and to bring copies of their 2024 federal and state income tax returns and other required documentation for completing the application.

“I am proud to once again partner with the Department of Assessment this summer on a program that educates Nassau homeowners and protects them from over taxation by making it convenient and easy to complete and file their tax exemption forms,” Legislator Koslow said. “If you have any questions about how to complete your applications, I encourage you to join us at one of our three upcoming workshops to receive hands-on assistance that will ensure receive every exemption that you qualify for.”
