Tax figures from 9,169 recent sales with reported annual taxes · Closed-sale stats through Sep 10, 2026 · charts through August 2026 · refreshed Oct 9, 2026 11:00 pm

Key readAcross the 57 Nassau County districts with enough recent recorded sales to measure, most effective tax rates run from about 1.3% to 1.85% of value, with a median of about 1.61%. For scale, applied to a $830K home — the county median — that band is roughly $10,800 to $15,400 a year in property tax depending on the district, which is why two similarly priced homes can carry very different carrying costs.

At a county-wide median, that is roughly 1.75% of the sale price in annual property tax — but this is a blended figure across every district, and your effective rate depends on the specific district, assessment, and exemptions.

Nassau County school districts

The table below covers all 56 Nassau County school districts, each setting its own tax levy, showing its typical home value from the NY State assessment roll. Where enough recent recorded sales carry a reported tax bill, the median annual tax and the resulting effective rate are shown from that real sample; a dash means the sample is too thin to publish a rate without guessing.

Median home value is the NY State ORPS assessment-roll median for the district. Typical annual tax and effective rate are shown only for districts with at least 20 recent recorded sales carrying a reported tax bill (median annual tax ÷ median sale price); a dash means that district had fewer, which is common in the smallest districts, and a median drawn from a handful of sales would read as precise while moving hundreds of dollars on one more sale. The yr/yr marker compares the median recorded tax bill on homes sold in the last 12 months against the preceding 12 months, and appears only where both year samples are adequate; a shift can reflect levies, reassessment, or a different mix of homes selling. School-district boundaries can cross town and postal lines — always verify the district for a specific address.

How to read the effective rate. It is an observed cost ratio — the median recorded tax bill divided by the median recorded sale price — not an official tax rate, millage, or assessment ratio, and it is not a figure any taxing authority publishes. Because both halves are medians of a sample of recent sales, the second decimal carries more precision than the underlying data supports: differences of a few hundredths of a point between districts are noise, not a ranking, and these are best read as broad tiers (for example, "around 1.3%" versus "around 2%"). A specific home's actual bill depends on its own assessment, any exemptions such as STAR, and any village or special-district taxes layered on top, so it can sit meaningfully above or below its district's median. Use these figures to compare the general cost of ownership across districts, not to project a bill for any particular property — and confirm the current figures for any home you are seriously considering. This is factual cost information, not tax or legal advice.

Which schools serve each district?

Every home listed in Nassau County records the elementary, middle, and high school serving that address. Aggregated across recent listings, that gives a live, address-sourced roster: 200 elementary, 64 middle, and 59 high schools across 58 districts. Open a district to see the schools recorded for it, the communities it serves, and how that district's market actually behaves — median sale price and its year-over-year direction, median annual tax, median price per square foot, and typical time to sell. School names are listed as facts only — no ratings or rankings — and attendance zones within a district vary street by street, so confirm the zoned schools for any specific address with the district.

Each district is measured against Nassau County over the same trailing 12 months of recorded sales: a median of $518 per square foot across 9,594 sales with a recorded size and a median 28 days to contract across 10,085 recorded sales. A comparison is shown only where both the district and the county carry an adequate sample for that metric, and differences of a few percent or a few days between two medians are noise rather than a real gap.

School names as recorded on MLS listings in the trailing 12 months, refreshed daily; a district with no recent recorded sales appears in the directory above but not in this browser. Occasional MLS data-entry variants are filtered by requiring a name to recur across listings.

What drives a Nassau County tax bill

A home's annual tax is a function of its assessed value, the combined levies of its school district and other taxing jurisdictions, and any exemptions the owner qualifies for. Because the school-district levy is usually the largest single component, two homes at the same price in different districts can carry materially different bills — which is exactly why the price-point figures above are county-wide medians rather than a rate you can apply to one house.

As a NY Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker who is also an attorney, Joseph reads the tax and assessment picture as part of evaluating a purchase — including whether an assessment looks out of step with recent comparable sales. That is perspective on the transaction, not legal or tax advice; a certiorari attorney or tax professional should be consulted for a grievance or a definitive tax opinion.

Has the tax burden actually risen in Nassau County?

Both things are true at once, which is why this question rarely gets a straight answer. The typical Nassau County tax bill recorded at closing rose from about $11,100 in 2014 to about $13,800 in 2025 — roughly 24% more. Over the same years the typical sale price went from $430K to $825K, about 92% more. Because value rose faster than the bill, tax as a share of price fell from 2.59% to 1.67% — down roughly 36% over 11 years.

Each row is the median of Nassau County closings recorded that year, so this tracks what buyers actually took on — not any single owner's bill. A homeowner whose assessment did not change saw no decline in their own rate; what fell is the tax carried by a typical purchase, because prices climbed faster than assessments followed. The figure is the tax recorded at the time of sale and is not a forecast of what a new owner will pay.

Year 2021 omitted: the MLS record for Nassau County is materially incomplete that year, so a count for it would understate it. Medians for that year are unaffected and are shown where used.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are property taxes so important when buying in Nassau County?

In Nassau County, annual property taxes are a large, recurring part of the true cost of ownership and vary widely by school district and assessment — two similarly priced homes can carry very different tax bills. Because taxes scale with both value and location, buyers should weigh the tax line alongside the purchase price when comparing homes.

What is a typical property-tax rate in Nassau County?

Across recent Nassau County sales, the median annual property tax works out to roughly 1.75% of the sale price. That is a county-wide median across all districts; the effective rate for any specific home depends on its district, assessment, and any exemptions (such as STAR).

Have property taxes in Nassau County gone up or down?

Both, depending on what is being measured. The median tax bill recorded at closing rose about 24% between 2014 and 2025, from roughly $11,100 to $13,800. Over the same period the median sale price rose about 92%, so tax as a share of price moved from 2.59% to 1.67%. These are medians of recorded Nassau County sales, which describe what a typical buyer took on rather than the trajectory of any individual owner's bill.

How are school districts and towns related in Nassau County?

School-district boundaries in Nassau County do not always match village or postal-town lines, and a single town can fall within more than one district. Always verify the exact district and attendance zone for a specific address before relying on it.

Which public schools serve each school district in Nassau County?

Recent Nassau County listings record 200 elementary, 64 middle, and 59 high schools across 58 districts. The schools-by-district browser on this page lists the school names recorded for each district; attendance zones within a district vary by street, so always confirm the zoned schools for a specific address with the district itself.

Are school-district property taxes rising in Nassau County?

Comparing the median recorded tax bill on homes sold in the last 12 months against the preceding 12 months, the median rose in 27 of 57 Nassau County districts with an adequate two-year sample, fell in 26, and was roughly flat in 4. These are medians of recorded bills on recently sold homes — a shift can reflect levy changes, reassessment, or simply a different mix of homes selling — so treat the direction as context, not a forecast of any one home's bill.

Which Nassau County school districts have the lowest and highest property taxes?

Measured by effective tax rate — median recorded annual tax divided by median sale price — the lowest among Nassau County districts with an adequate recent-sale sample is Lawrence at about 0.85% (roughly $11,155 on a $750,000 home), and the highest is Rockville Centre at about 2.05% (about $21,820 on a $657,000 home). Effective rate reflects both the tax levy and local home values; your actual bill depends on the specific property's assessment and any exemptions. This is a factual cost comparison, not a rating of the districts.

How much do property taxes vary across Nassau County?

A lot. Among Nassau County districts with adequate recent-sale data, effective rates run from roughly 0.85% to 2.05% of value — which is why two similarly priced homes in different districts can carry very different annual carrying costs. Always check the specific district and assessment for any home you are considering.
