North Hempstead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 2 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 2-139
Referral for tax assessment
Operative Text
Upon any person, association, firm or corporation being charged with a violation of this article, the Town Attorney or his/her designee shall forward a record of such allegation to the Nassau County Department of Assessment for review and assessment.
Under North Hempstead Code ch. 2 § 2-139, whenever any person, association, firm, or corporation is charged with a violation of the relevant article, the Town Attorney (or a designated representative) is required to send a record of that charge to the Nassau County Department of Assessment for review and potential reassessment. This creates an automatic administrative link between a code violation charge and the property tax assessment process. The provision does not itself impose a tax change but triggers a formal review by the assessment authority.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to North Hempstead Code ch. 2 § 2-139 should be aware that a charge—not just a conviction—under the relevant article automatically prompts the Town Attorney's office to notify the Nassau County Department of Assessment. Compliant operators generally maintain their properties in accordance with local code requirements to avoid triggering this referral mechanism. A charge that initiates this process could lead to an independent reassessment of the property's taxable value.
