There are approximately 7,000 parcels of land in Glen Cove. The Glen Cove Department of Assessment determines the assessed value of each parcel to serve as a basis for property taxes.
Exemptions
Various exemptions are available for qualified taxpayers that can help reduce their tax burden. The most common exemptions are veterans’, senior citizens’ and STAR exemptions. These are all partial exemptions and do not apply to all levels of real estate taxes.
There are two types of Veteran Exemptions. The first is the Alternative Veteran Exemption which is based upon service during wartime or the cold war whether service was in a combat area and if there was any degree of service-connected disability. The Eligible Funds Exemption is based on money received by veterans as a result of military service. Veterans’ exemptions apply to county and city taxes, but not to school or special district taxes.

Veterans Exemptions - Recent Change
Recent Change to Dates of Service for Veterans who served during Vietnam
On November 11, 2021, Governor Hochul signed Bill A07388B into law amending the service dates for veterans who served during the Vietnam War.
The new law conforms the definition of a veteran serving in the Vietnam War era to newly enacted federal law (H.R. 7105) for veterans who from between February 28, 1961 and May 7, 1975, to any active duty service that occurred between November 1, 1955 and May 7, 1975. As a result, those veterans impacted by this amendment who were receiving the Cold War Veterans exemption may now be eligible to switch to the Alternative Veterans exemption although cannot receive both.
To apply, please contact our Assessment department at [email protected] or (516) 676-3564.
Senior Citizens Exemptions
Eligible seniors can receive a property tax reduction of five to fifty percent based upon their income. All income of (including Social Security and non-taxable income) all owners counts toward eligibility. All owners must be sixty-five or older (if a husband and wife apply, only one needs be sixty-five, but both incomes must be counted even if only one spouse owns the property). Senior citizens exemptions apply to city taxes and to school taxes unless the eligible senior has a child living on the premises and attending public school. Please note:
