Valley Stream - (Nassau Property Taxes are Choking
-
3/27/2007
I have been living out here for the last 2 years. Schools are great, streets are quiet, but sheez, things begin to hurt when you get your tax bill the following year, going up about an average $300. Its just nuts. They have to find some way of properly appraising the homes, you have people that have been here for a while and they don't care about a home appraisal of 15% every year. They are looking to stay not leave (which is the majority of my neighborhood is doing). In addition, the local village goverment its cracking down like there is no tommorrow on the bitty little things (to make money some how) roof repairs (buildiding permit), number of cars in your drive way (checking to make sure you live there). Anyway, i guess you get what you pay for.
