Assessment
The Assessment Department is responsible for discovering, identifying, listing and valuing all tangible properties within the jurisdiction of the Incorporated Village of Hempstead. These responsibilities include handling all assessment inquiries, updating ownership and billing addresses, assessment values, classification, and various non-taxable exemptions as they occur during the tax year to produce a tentative assessment roll for review and a final roll for budget and tax levy purposes. A State report is submitted each year to the NYS Office of Real Property to create Equalization and Residential Assessment ratios that are used to calculate property values. More than half of the Village's revenue is generated by the Assessment Department.
