Resident questions tax increase; treasurer says grievance process and county benchmarks apply

A resident asked the board why their property taxes rose despite no change to their home. Village Treasurer Michael (surname not provided) explained that the village follows standard tax grievance procedures and that residents may meet with staff on grievance days to present documentation for potential adjustments. Michael said the village “piggybacks” or bases its eligibility thresholds for certain discounts on Nassau County figures, and that county changes to income limits can affect village discount eligibility. He invited the resident to bring the property address and contact information to Deputy Clerk Richard DeAngelis so staff could review the assessment and the tax rate and schedule a one‑on‑one meeting with the treasurer. There was no formal adjustment, vote, or grievance decision at the meeting; the exchange resulted in a staff follow‑up to review the resident’s specific assessment and to explain applicable discount programs.
