Reading these figures

A median describes Lawrence, not your home, which may sit well above or below it for good reasons. The tentative roll can still change before it becomes final. This page summarizes published records and is not an appraisal; verify any figure that matters in the Nassau County Land Records Viewer, and see how these pages are built.

Common questions

How are homes in Lawrence assessed?

How do I file a property tax grievance in Lawrence?

File with Nassau County’s Assessment Review Commission (ARC), online or on paper, during the published window of January 4–March 1, 2027. Filing is free, needs no attorney, and the County states a grievance never raises an assessment. ARC reviews the assessment behind county, town, and school taxes. The Village of Lawrence bases its village assessments on the County’s values but still reviews them itself, so ask the village clerk whether it holds a grievance day.
