Tax Break for Long Island Seniors Not Renewed
On Long Island, a tax break affecting 35,000 Nassau County seniors was not renewed this year.
Recently, Nassau County let a long-standing property tax abatement expire without any notice to the recipients of the abatement.
Approximately 35,000 seniors, all earning less than $86,000 a year in income, were receiving approximately $200 a year in tax abatement. But now the abatement has been removed because the county legislature did not re-approve the abatement.
