At about $6,946 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 47% below the $13,000 typical for Hempstead Union Free School District.

A sale does not automatically reset it, and exemptions such as STAR, Senior or Veteran move the number as well — a new owner's bill is often not the same as the seller's.
