RESTORED TAXES
When a property with an exemption is sold to a new owner not entitled to an exemption, the Nassau County Department of Assessment will remove this exemption and add on "restored" taxes (prorated back one year) on a future tax roll. It can take up to two years for exemptions to be removed from tax bills because of the County Assessment roll calendar.
BASE TAX AMOUNT
The base tax for a property is the tax rate multiplied by one one-hundredth (.01) of the assessed value. (See Nassau County Assessor's Property Search Website for base tax amounts). Other items such as unpaid water bills and restored taxes may appear on a tax bill; however, these items are not part of the base tax.
