Long Island
Plandome Heights is a village in Nassau County, in New York's Long Island region, home to about 1,000 people as of the 2020 census.
How Plandome Heights works
Usually, start with the village for village work and the Town of North Hempstead for the town layer. The exact service split comes from the current official office pages, not from the word "village" alone.
Plandome Heights is an incorporated municipal government, and village residents also remain residents and taxpayers of the Town of North Hempstead. The two layers can own different roads, records, permits, courts, services, and tax lines.
Some villages run building, zoning, assessment, tax, road, water, or sewer work themselves. Others share or refer part of that work to a town or county. The direct service rows below show the reviewed route when one is available.
A village may use its own assessment roll or another assessing unit. A village tax can sit on top of town or county and school taxes. The recorded deed and mortgage stay with the clerk for the parcel's county.
The school district is separate from Plandome Heights village government. The exact home address decides enrollment and the school-tax line, even when the mailing address says Plandome Heights.
Ordinary example
They check the village for the local permit and village tax, the Town of North Hempstead for any town-owned service, the county clerk for the deed, and the school district for enrollment. The same address can appear in every layer.
Property tax snapshot
Nassau County uses four property classes. The state's municipality dataset blends all four classes, so its full-value rate is not a residential-home estimate. Use the parcel's class, current assessment, and newest county, municipal, school, and village bills.
Start with the assessor record and the newest tax bills. Match the exact address to its village, town or city, county, school district, and special districts before comparing totals.
Local government
A New York village is incorporated, but it also sits inside one or more towns. The village and town can own different records, taxes, roads, courts, permits, or services.
City or town relationship
The Census relationship is geographic. It tells you which city or town overlaps this place; the official municipal pages still control the current division of services.

Assessment, exemptions, and grievance
Assessment guideThis is the office that owns the assessed-value record and local exemption file.
Nassau County, not the Town of North Hempstead, owns the county assessment roll.
Clerk, licenses, and municipal records
Marriage guideUse the clerk for the records and licenses this government actually keeps. A village clerk does not automatically own the town's marriage-license work.
Building, zoning, and land use
Project guideStart here for local permits, inspections, zoning, and code questions. County health, wetlands, shoreline, or park review can still add another office.
Property-tax bills and payments
Match the office to the bill in hand. Village, town or city, county, and school taxes do not always use the same collector.
