Nassau property tax rate hike
Falling house values in Nassau County and successful assessment protests have pushed up school tax rates to more than double the increases projected when voters approved their school budgets this spring.
In some districts, rates have jumped 10 times higher than projected. Records show the average school tax rate in Nassau increased 11.7 percent compared to the average 2.6 percent projected.
