Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) is partnering with the Nassau County Department of Assessment to bring the Homeowner Exemption Liaison Program (HELP) to the Hicksville Public Library on Thursday, July 17; the Syosset Public Library on Friday, July 25; The Barn at Old Bethpage Village Restoration on Tuesday, July 29 and the Farmingdale Public Library on Wednesday, Sept. 3.

During HELP events, Department of Assessment staff provide homeowners with individual assistance with completing and filing applications 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.

“Nassau County residents deserve every opportunity to lower their taxes and reduce their cost of living, and the HELP program is outstanding tool for ensuring that you are receiving the full complement of exemptions that you have earned,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “I am proud to once again be working with the Department of Assessment to bring these expert resources directly to our homeowners so that they can get the hands-on assistance they need to complete and submit their applications in one convenient setting.”
