Deer Park, New York

Deer Park is a hamlet — a community without a village government of its own — in Suffolk County, part of New York's Long Island region, with about 29,000 residents at the 2020 census.

Like the rest of upstate New York, an assessed value here usually isn't the market value; the state's equalization rate reconciles the two. The local rate is below, and the STAR program can lower the school-tax part of the bill.

Property tax snapshot

About $3–$27 per $1,000 in Suffolk County

Combined full-value rate — county + town/city + school district, per $1,000 of market value (FY2025). On a $300,000 home that's about $800–$8,201 a year before the STAR break. A hamlet has no government of its own — it's taxed at the rates of the town it sits in.

A planning estimate, not a bill. Your exact rate depends on your school district and any village. Confirm with the assessor.
