Massapequa Park, New York

Massapequa Park is a village in Nassau County, in New York's Long Island region, home to about 17,000 people as of 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 $11–$32 per $1,000 in Nassau 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 $3,163–$9,469 a year before the STAR break. A village is assessed within its town; expect the town's rate plus a separate village tax.

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