The Lindenhurst Village Assessment Department is responsible for identifying, listing and assessing all real property and preparing the tentative and final assessment rolls for almost 10,000 parcels throughout the Village of Lindenhurst.
Exemptions – The Assessor’s office receives and processes applications for all property tax exemptions. There are several different exemptions available in the Village of Lindenhurst. The available exemptions are for firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers, senior citizens, veterans, non-profit organizations and clergy.
If an exemption application is approved, a certain percentage will be deducted from the assessment of a particular property. Each exemption has a different set of guidelines. All exemptions only affect the Village tax bill.
