Nassau seeks extension for real estate reassessment overhaul
Nassau town officials plan to request more time to complete a costly move to full valuation of all town real property by the May 1 court-ordered deadline. The change raises reassessment costs to 50 60 dollars per parcel and would shift tax burdens. A meeting with state assessment officials is planned as officials study methods before filing plans. The action follows a lawsuit by Howard and Mrs Shaw and mirrors other counties ordered to switch from partial to full evaluation. Michael W Patenaude of Stillwater made the University of South Florida dean’s list with a 3.6 GPA.
