Hi All,
The Nassau County government homepage is chock full of informative and helpful links. Not only is the site easy to navigate - great colors, easy to read, good contrasting links and well organized - there are many ways for visitors to contact various departments on the Nassau County site.
Click here for a good start to figure out who/what/where to contact if you have any issues. One of the best things about the site is eServices link on the homepage.
Click here for the direct link. On the EServices page on the site you have two sections - one for residents and another for business. I'm going to discuss the various parts of the resident section in this blog entry. There is more than enough to talk about on the site for the entry.
So, what's on the resident site? Well, users can view assessment information via the Land Records Viewer, appeal your assessment via the Assessment Review (AROW), make golf reservations (seriously!), pay parking tickets online and find a section on contractor lookup and initiate contractor complaints.
Starting from the top....the
Land Records Viewer enables users to view area maps, tax maps, view a property sketch and view correspondence. General and School tax information, property description, recent sales and assessment question information are all available on the site.
The
AROW (an acronym for Assessment Review on the Web) section of the site enables homeowners to answer the question, 'Do I have a good case for filing an appeal"? Users can search for residential sales, file an appeal or look up information about pending or prior appeals.
Sorry, but the
Golf Reservation section of the site is one of the more clever uses of technology that I've seen recently. Using this service, users can reserve tee time at either the Red, White, or blue courses at Eisenhower Park up to one week in advance of the date you wish to play. Funstuff - especially now that Spring is somewhat around the corner.
The '
My Nassau' part of the site enables users to find information on elected officials, road management authorities, school district information, police/fire/sewage district information. That could be very helpful when you need to lodge a complaint about a fire or sewage issue...
Go figure - park in the wrong place now, get a ticket and you can pay online with a credit card. Want to do just that?
Just click on this link to pay your outstanding parking tickets that are returnable to the Nassau County (TPVA) Traffic Court. Easy - and you don't have to go to 16 Cooper Street in Hempstead to pay the ticket.
FYI, click on this link to go to the TPVA website directly. Finally, visitors to the
Contractor Lookup/Complaint section of the website can find and check on the license status of prospective contractors and vendors. Visitors can also file complaints with the Nassau County Department of Consumer Affairs from this site as well. Neat stuff -and very helpful when you are doing a renovation or building project on or in your house (think kitchen remodeling or basement finishing or an addition to the house...).
Enjoy the site - there is a huge amount of timely, valuable, helpful information that is available to visitors!
Regards,
Stu
