Hicksville Property Taxes Explained

Property taxes are the single biggest carrying cost for Hicksville homeowners, and higher on Long Island than in most of the country — worth understanding whether you're buying or pricing a home to sell.

How Nassau taxes are built

Your bill combines Nassau County, Town of Oyster Bay, and — the largest piece — the Hicksville Union Free School District. Nassau assesses homes at a fraction of market value and applies a rate to that assessed value, so two similar homes can carry very different bills depending on assessment history.

The county's assessed "full market value" often runs well below actual sale prices — Hicksville homes recently sold around $779,533 (Redfin, May 2026). Don't rely on the assessment to price a sale.

Grieving your assessment

If your assessment looks high relative to comparable Hicksville sales, you can file a tax grievance with Nassau County to seek a reduction. There is a filing deadline each year. See our Long Island property-tax grievance guide.

STAR & exemptions

Owner-occupants should confirm the STAR exemption (Enhanced STAR if 65+). Veteran and other exemptions may also apply and reduce the school-tax portion of your bill.
